In the world of entrepreneurship, facing challenges is a common experience. Sometimes, those challenges accumulate and lead us to question whether we should continue or let go.
A recent article in the digital magazine "Entrepreneur en Español" addresses this crucial question: "I want to throw in the towel and close my business; how do I know if I should keep going or let it go?
