Lookback: 1 year after inheriting

hate waking up at 7, dealing with suppliers, etc.

I hate running my dad's hardware business, it's not for me.

What I wish I knew
"I should have thought about my own happiness before accepting the business"
If I could tell you one thing
"don't be afraid to walk away from something that doesn't make you happy"
