The reason you feel this way is because you've never had to reach into your own pocket to cover a payroll.

Truth is .... you have to have intestinal fortitude. Which means you gotta want it. But you must be correct in your assessment of yourself and your abilities. I give you the example of a singer (or an actor or a ball player). There are many examples of people in these genres who have "made it". But unlike what you see and hear, it's more than just being discovered. You have to assess your talents and abilities to see if you have the basics of what it will take. Of all the success stories there are ten million failure stories. Being untalented, unprepared, and unwilling will always seal your doom. It ain't easy in the beginning and if you think the struggles aren't fun, then you are not in the right place.
I like working so a part of my success is always having something to do. Also having freedom and control that allows me to work on whatever wherever. Nobody tells me what to do. Financial freedom has a lot to do with it and that means a strong cash flow. So $$ is never a problem. It's like I have a money faucet. When I need or want more money I just open the faucet and out it comes. So I always need to protect the faucet. That is success. I don't need to be there working constantly. But if I'm not involved the faucet can be compromised. So my focus is on the faucet. And that creates many opportunities for me to have something to do.

I tried to start a dating service in a small town. No one knew. This was all pre internet. I rented a PO Box and ran an ad in the local newspaper. People joined for $2 month. I think I made $10 in 3 months
Yes I'm married and have kids. I have no employees. I do everything in my biz but I do lean on a cpa to work out my taxes every year. I run my business, my business does not run me. I prioritize my work. Some things are "paperwork" and I can do that stuff at home and at any hour. I can set my own hours and days. Truth is, I could bring in more business and make more money if I had some employees. But I'd have to give up a lot of freedom. So you can't have it all. Decide what's important to you.
Learn how to do everything. Have NO employees. This will save you money AND make more money for you.
