Congrats on hitting the one year mark. That's definitely the hardest year.
We passed the three year anniversary of buying our business last week. It has been so hard these first couple of years. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears. I regret buying it sometimes, and have cried myself to sleep more than once. That being said, I am so glad we did it. It has launched us towards FIRE so much faster than I thought possible. Now that we are several years in, things are finally starting to settle into place. I am trying to slowly ease out of the everyday running of things and letting the staff take over all of the day to day operations. 2022 is the year to get my work/life balance back in order.
Good luck to anyone thinking about buying/starting a business. It's a wild ride, but it's worth it.
