Hi everyone,

I am currently running my pressure washing company and it has been slowing down slightly. On top of being a little bored with the world being shut-down, I've started to set my sights on other things. I've come to realize I really want to get into real estate long term, as pressure washing began primarily as a stepping stone to learn more about the entrepreneurship world.

What I am ultimately needing advice on is: how do you know when it is time to move on to your next venture?

I've been thinking about wholesaling real estate, on top of a few other ideas but notice the "grass is greener" mentality arising within me. This causes me to kind of neglect my pressure washing company.

For real estate, I will need more knowledge/experience to be able to do it. How do you balance running your current company while learning/experiencing these other avenues?
Thought about getting a job in construction to learn the other aspect of real estate and price valuations, but still curious on how to juggle running my current business with that.

Thanks
