At some point, many of us face a situation where our business stops growing. We realize that pushing forward might only drain our time and energy without real results. Deciding to close a startup—especially if it’s your first or second venture—is incredibly tough. We often identify ourselves with our businesses, and shutting them down can feel like admitting defeat (though it’s absolutely not the case). I’d love to hear your stories about closing a business. How did you make that decision, and what was the experience like for you? Your insights could be invaluable to others navigating similar crossroads.
