I'd say the majority of the businesses start either as a hobby projects or part time work, while having full time job (everybody have to pay their rent and bills). If after working your 9-5, commuting, spending time with your family, you still have enough passion and determination to work on something or build something - it's a good indicator that it can grow into a successfully business. In my experience, building a business requires spending sleepless nights and working beyond your comfort limit to get it going. And I'm not talking about not sleeping 1-2 nights or working on it a couple times a month (this can work too but most likely will take long years to take off), I'm talking about having 2-3-6 month of working on it every day. Choosing to work on your business instead of watching Netflix, YouTube, playing games, scrolling reels or tiktoks, going to clubs/bars. Spending your vacation time and days off to work on this business instead of traveling somewhere.
It sounds tough but if that's something your passionate about or truly belive in - you wouldn't even notice it. When I was building my first couple businesses it wasn't even a choice - "do I watch a netflix or work on my business?" I forgot for several months that social media or any entertainment existed"
