It may not have seemed obvious at first, but entrepreneurship is not always as glamorous as it is made out to be.

It can be painfully challenging. More so than even a terrible job, with a terrible boss, and a terrible work environment.

Entrepreneurship can be cruel and heartless, and cripple even the most confident and ambitious people to a shell of what they once were.

One of the hardest things about it all? How lonely it can seem when you’re in this dark, uncomfortable place.

I know what this is like, because there have been times when I have felt this way myself. I know how it feels when you are no longer enjoying your business. In fact, I think most entrepreneurs – even those that achieve massive levels of success, despise their companies at one point or another.

And you know what? That’s okay.

What’s not okay however, is remaining in a state of misery forever.

You started your company for a reason, and it takes a certain type of person to make that sort of jump.  In this article, I want to give you permission to feel these negative emotions. Then, I want to help you lay out a road map to help you develop the best course of action heading forward.
