I relate a lot to your comments. I'm currently in a situation which seems to be the pinnacle of the trajectory you described and I'm slowly coming to that exact conclusion about not enjoying the work but just the hobby. My passion for that hobby brought me here and the only logical step is to sell my business and move on. It's going to be such a challenge to let it go but I only look back at what I built with pride and good memories. There's no remorse or resentment because it's a hobby that I continue to enjoy and my professional life still gravitates around it. If you enjoy the ride, which I certainly did, there's nothing wrong in projecting your career off that passion for that hobby.
