    Thumbs down Sad..I have to sell

    my business

    Some recent health issues with my dad, sister and mom, not to mention other family stuff that I haven't talked about here is forcing me to sell.

    I don't know how much longer I have with my dad, I haven't seen ANY of my family (except for dad) in over 4 yrs. I feel like the universe is telling me that I need to finally step back and spend more time with and take care of my family.

    This sucks. I've built this up to be the largest in the portland area, if not the nw, and i'm being forced to sell it.

    i'm not closing it at all, that would be dumb since it's profitable, but, i'm also gonna be a bit particular on who i sell it to since it's my "baby".

    i'm torn up about this. i've gone about all the ways i can stay with it and i can't. not even bringing in a partner will allow me to do what i need for my family. i've been crying and crying, this just sucks!

    i have to put 110% in my family. but i still want to teach and hopefully will be able to under the new owner(s).

    i hate being forced to sell. it's not on my terms, i hate it hate it hate it! i've never been forced to sell with any other businesses i've had, so this just hurts.

    i hope i can find someone good. i know i'll have to train them and such (pole and business wise) and still will give advise for as long as they need, i just don't want someone to run it into the ground.

    so if anyone in the pdx area is interested or know someone that might be, let me know.

    oh and this also sucks that this is my 2000 post, what a sad way to become a god/dess

    I wish you the best. Please don't leave Stripperweb though, you may choose to re-enter the "Industry-Related" group at some point (you should, it's awfully lucrative.)

    Do you really have to sell? Can you keep ownership and yet leave the operations to another? Kind of like a franchise?

    But I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I wish you the best.

    So sorry to hear about this!

    Is there a way to delegate (on paper and legally temporary of course) responsibilities?

    Oops...didn't see VG's response up there, but yeah. That is a good idea.

    I am starting to delegate right now (one of my students ROCKS at paperwork and stuff! she's trading studio time and private lessons, yeah!)

    but unfortunately i can't just delegate it all, i would be constantly worrying about it, adding to my anxieties with my fam. i've thought about taking on a partner, but i need to be able to take extended time away to deal with my family, i really need to spend several weeks back "home" (tx, la and al) and i just can't do that while running this.

    plus i'm trying to get my dad to move closer to us so we can spend more time with him also.

    i'm starting to come to terms with it, i'm very sad. but i really really miss my family, i'm like the energizer bunny, i keep going and going with my businesses and don't take time out for them. now with 3 of them getting sick (not to mention my great aunt and nanny dying last year, didn't even get to say goodbye )

    I've never had maternity leave with all 3 of the kids, my oldest is partially deaf and has sensory integration disorder which is difficult to deal with, my middle one has ADD and is struggling in school (i will not put him meds, but we are trying to change his school, if he doesn't get moved, i'm homeschooling him), my daughter is growing so fast i'm missing all the "baby" stuff, even though she's 4.

    seriously the universe is telling me to stop and smell the roses and spend time with my family, or i'll regret it when they die.

    Summer...please pm me or catch me on the PJ forum!

    I may have a suggestion....one of my members is moving up your way, and has to give up her studio in the south.

    She is looking for another location...but funds make her unable to purchase one.

    You may be able to strike a deal with her to continue ownership of your studio...but have someone run it for you under your control!

    When we moved I had to do the same thing..but I refused to give away my baby!

    I hope all works well for you, my condolances on the family issues!

    I'm sorry Sassy! This is really sad. I'm glad you recognize your need to slow down though. Try to strike a balance, because as much as your family needs you, the kind of person you are means you need to keep working to be happy. I wish I had some of your drive.

    Good luck, I wish you the best.

    you're totally right holiday, i am a busy bee, i'm sure i can find something to do that will fill my need to work, but that won't take up my time like the studios do...i'll probably do more volunteer work. i miss working with the leukemia & lymphoma society.

    but anyone that knows me knows i have a million ideas (i make a kick ass sunblocking baby hat that fits from newborn to adult! that's super cute! lol), but i have to hold myself back this time. i might make some hats to sell here and there for a little extra money, cause lord knows it's gonna be hard going from what i make now to nothing, lol...but that won't take my time at all like the studios do.

    if i didn't have 3 small kids it would be much easier to deal with the health issues of my parents and sis, but they are full time job (especially if i end up having to home school my 7 yr old).

    ugh, this all sucks!

    alena, i pm'd you, thanks!
