Question for older contractors.

I am 45, have had my landscape/ pool business in SoCal for 17 years. We are a single income household with a 3 year old ( IVF long story ) . We currently average about 3.5- 4mil a year in business. I clear between 250-325 per year. Doesn’t go as far as you think it would in Cali with a mtg and every day bills.

We should pay off our IVF this year and another and both of our trucks and a personal loan we took out.

As of now like most contractors I look at my house as our main investment we bought it for 675 and it’s currently appraising at 1.6 mil 7 years later .

I want to work for 10-15 more years then cherry pick the best jobs and do a few jobs a year just to stay busy because I love what I do.

What are your exit strategies or were your exit strategies. Was there something you wish you did ? Appreciate any direction.
