Who do you think you are? Jack Dorsey? If you like 16 hour days and have a chip on your shoulder then go for it. But in all seriousness here, I wouldn't advise you to do this. One is more than enough. I'd hate to read about you here in a few years in an article about you snapped under all the pressure. Focus. We all have a million great ideas but it's incredibly rare to be able to execute on more than one of them successfully let alone a single idea successfully. One is enough and if you have some extra passion to burn off well then that's why god created side projects. I won't give you advice on how to get through more than one startup as I believe it would hurt you (or anyone) more than it would help. There's only one Jack Dorsey. Remember that.

I want to automate my first startup and make a better one. With the first startup I can't make more than 70k euros/month. It's in Germany, noone would buy it. So should I kill it? Because I have better ideas. P.S. I didn't say I'm Jack Dorsey. I really appreciate what he does and did. But I and anyone else can be better than him, if you ask my opinion.

  First off, don't take offense to the Dorsey comment. I was kidding. There was an article about him working 16 hour days at 2 startups that I was reminded of. You should have mentioned these details originally. If you can automate it and it really doesn't require too much attention from you then I'd say keep it running and pursue other options. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. When you say you can't make more than 70k euros monthly I worry. 70k each month is a lot of money. Is that in your pocket or what the business is making before expenses? If that's your pay then I hope you're not in it for the money. Doing anything for the money is a sure way to fail in the long run. But all things considered I can't see a reason why you shouldn't go for 2 at a time in this particular situation. Good luck.

    70k is monthly net profit. I know working for money is not good, but my business model is limited. It's local. It can't grow anymore. For example, Google can grow, Facebook can grow, etc. they can invent interesting things by the time. But my first startup gets already boring and I seek something more interesting. I dont want to stuck in an office working whole the time on it.
