I am trying to build a sustainable side business that allows me to scratch the itches I need to while getting the bills paid during 9-5. The only advice I have is if you take this route, you need to be able to put your project aside and prioritize the "keep the lights on" income at times. If you can be at peace with setbacks that are out of control, it will set you up for success in other parts of business starting too. I'm just going to keep cranking till I get there. Very close. It's a long game but when it comes together I will not be paying anybody else or splitting revenue with any other party. It's worth this in the end. Having a sustainable day job is also KEY for this, it took me roughly 5yrs through burnout to get here since my last real significant job. Expectations are the root of all evil. Make the best you can with the situation you are in today. Set yourself up for success tomorrow.
