Hey everyone,
let me start by giving some detail for context. I run a local IT service business by myself. All my work has been residential and although my income is tied to the work I do, I get incredible profit return for that work. Although this is not my ideal business model, the experience with business and IT along with the profits I earn is incredibly useful for getting myself to me.

I seek to make this business a foundation for my livelihood as I pursue more entrepreneurial opportunities. My difficulty is that I'm not getting enough consistent work to make this a possibility.

Can anyone shed some light with me? I'm always pursuing different Ideas for drawing in customers and understanding the market for my type of business but I want to hear different perspectives from the people on this forum and I'd love to have a discussion with y'all!
