So when I turned 30 I decided to start my own business, a sustainable kelp farm. I’ve been doing it for 5 years now, and am very burnt out. Earlier this year the government (canadian) made some policy changes around my license and essentially made my asset (the land) worthless. So selling isn’t really an option.
So now I’m 35, I’ve poured all my life savings into this business and am restarting my career. I still have my loan obligations but won’t be able to make profit from the farm with the new rules.
My questions are, what advice do you have for a) getting over burnout but still needing to pay bills, b) starting your career over, and c) how to set myself up for retirement 15 years late.
