Hello everyone,I am at a weird phase in my life and need some guidance. I understand I have immense privilege right now in my life and I have a lot of pressure to try not to screw it up.I have been running my family's biz for last 6.5 years with my parents. it's a 25+year Transportation shuttle service (Tourism). COVID hurt us a lot but we were able to hibernate and come back when we saw fit. We were also able to secure some funds thanks to EIDL which I would NOT have been able to do pre-COVID. So I am very grateful that I have survived not only with our lives, but also our business.Anyways... The business hasn't come back yet, 2022 may be better. I want to invest some of this $ in different streams of income, something that will be more steady than just our hotel shuttle service. I am exploring shipping/logistics, charters for group Travel, or transfers for airport crews. But, I don't know where to start and am confused.The biggest issue I have is that while I know I am capable to figuring something out, in my heart I am not happy doing this transportation business. I have a lot of ideas for other industries that I feel more passionate about. For the last 2 years, I have studied other industries that I'm interested (food, e-commerce) but haven't had the guts/money to dip my toes in it.I have an idea that I REALLY want to try that I finally have the guts for. It's luxury fragrance/beauty niche brand that will bring OUD and Bakhoor on a larger scale to the US market. It would be a BRAND, not just me putting up an e-commerce store with products from Aliexpress; I want to build a community and a lifestyle brand that I am PASSIONATE about. I'm taking a trip to India & Middle East to visit family next month and I'm actually going to get some products so I can finally try something out.But, I'm trying to be logical about this and I need a steady stream of income that will be divided between my parents and I. I don't have time to mess around. The only thing appealing about pursuing transportation is the money and of course, that's a HUGE appeal. I know I can do both, but recently I have been feeling so stuck and want "freedom" from this family business. My parents have said we can shut it down whenever I want, but what about this money? I'm so lucky I have it, and I wanted it for years so I could re-invest it in the biz and I finally have it. But, now I don't know what I want. WTH. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
