Took the same path, founded a "real" company (not a magazine, a software company sells b2b software) and grew the team up to 3 and made the company profitable. But one year later, I've flopped. Now I've been working as an employee for 4 years and at this stage this is where I should be. Of course, I'll start companies in the future but you have to know the low end-side of your the job and gain experience.
