Should I dump my 11 year old business and start over?

[Steve Webb]

I kind of already new this however your book confirmed it! Love your book and it has given me a bunch of new insite on life and were I am headed. So the ultimate question is do I hang on to my 11 year old business and hope it continues to grow or do I dump it and move on? I own a computer repair shop and for the last 6 years it has flat lined, as a matter a fact it is taking a dive this year for no apparent reason. it makes me a decent living but nothing to write home about. Plus it will never make anything more then just that, You could sale to everybody in town and still not make a million bucks. So my current business has a ceiling and a floor which breaks a commandment, it is only reaching people in the community which is only about 250,000 people so a lake at best. That breaks a commandment, I do have some good people working for me but i still have to work at least 30 hours a week or it would tank... Not sure what I should do, I hate to let it go but I know of several other things I could be doing that could possible so much more lucrative and help / impact so many people. Have you heard of Dane Maxwell? I love the idea of custom software design so I thought about getting into create custom software for companies. Thoughts, Ideas? Suggestions?
