You should read Warren Buffet's autobiography, and perhaps some of his other books.

You apparently have some innate sales skills which is a huge asset. Hone that skill. Find something to sell, and sell the hell out of it.

Here's my mindset for all the businesses I've owned: I didn't start them to become wealthy, I started them them to get "healthy". Healthy in this context means to earn enough money to live comfortably and be able to move through a life catastrophe successfully. Not to say I wouldn't complain if I got wealthy, but "healthy" is my benchmark for success in business.

On every corner in every medium to large city in the world there is a web builder. The other three corners are occupied by a professional photographer, an MBA and a guy with a pressure washer.

I've owned four businesses over a span of forty years, some of those businesses overlapping. All were were local service businesses, lot's of sweat, most weeks were 60 hours or more. Not once have I ever experienced "burnout". The worst thing that can happen to a business owner is not being able to recover financially and emotionally after a business failure.
