You’re 35, not 65. You still have lots of time to be a successful entrepreneur. Shake it off, stay hungry, find another business to get into, and then work your ass off to make it a success.

You need to take a step back and assess your life and what you’re doing. Sounds like you have a lot going on but nothing to show for it which means you’re just wasting time and energy. Ever heard of the phrase, “a jack of all trades, but a master of none”? Sounds a bit like you, so take a minute and prioritize your projects, maybe focus on just one for a while and see what happens. Putting all your energy into one thing is a lot better than putting some of it into multiple projects.
I’m 38m, not married and no kids, so work has been a big part of my life and I’ve sold 2 of my businesses so far. I built an app back when I was 24 and in grad school and sold it to Google. I banked it and used it to bankroll another distribution business and got offers, like you, when I was 33 and sold it for a nice profit. To which, I put a sizable amount into another business and that’s where I’m at right now. It’s allowed me to buy my home, have 2 nice cars, a couple residential and a few commercial properties, and a decent portfolio. I had no regrets selling because I knew what I was going to do afterwards, so my advice is to plan for your future and discover how you see yourself and what you’d be doing if you let go of your business. If you don’t have a plan, you may want to take a beat. Good luck.
