Should I Quit My Business? (alien.top)

I’m a 29M. 2.5 years ago I quit my job to go full time in my online coaching business. I’ve had some ups and downs, but this entire year has been down.

The most I’ve ever made in a month was just over 6k

But lately it’s been hard for me to get over 2k per month

I barely have enough money to do the basic things and would like to hire some help but literally can’t afford it right now

Should I close the business down? Or get a job and do the business on the side?

Haven’t had a “job” in 2.5 years so I don’t imagine it will be easy to get, but I’m broke and open to anything

Any ideas?

I've been a freelance artist since 2017 and this year was also absolute shit. I could barely afford food. And where I used to make 2k a month, I ended up with 500-700 Euro almost every month this year.

Don't give up. Continue doing it if you enjoy it. I know it can be hard af and demotivating. But this year has been difficult for many companies. No idea what kind of planetary constellation or whatever caused it.

You can continue doing the coaching and maybe work a few hours somewhere everyday. Not e full time job but something that puts food on the table, just as long as needed.

On another note, if people here told you, yes give up and you actually feel like you don't want to, you'd already have your answer.
