Reader,

How do you know when it's time to let go?

That's the question we're exploring as we wrap up the Business at a Crossroads series.

There are probably times in your journey as a business owner when you've felt like giving up, but I'm guessing since you're still here, that that feeling shifted and you found a way forward.

But what happens when that feeling persists? Or worse, the cracks in the business just keep getting bigger and bigger until it really is untenable?

There are a number of reasons why you might need or want to close your business. I dig into those on the blog/pod this week and give you some questions to sort through if you're starting to feel that pull.

If you're feeling the weight of a business that's no longer working for you, I'd love to talk. You can find a time that works for you here. ​

Making that kind of decision is hard, and doing it alone is even harder.

xo,
Jess

P.S. Q4 officially starts tomorrow and my brain is like 🀯🀯🀯🀯 at how fast this year has flown by. Next week, I'll share more about how you can set yourself up for success for the remainder of the year and give you a new take on how to plan for the new year!
