@FauxPas
With kindness, I read your post and just .... *shrugged*
Lots of:
'I know this or that would fail'
'I want this'
'this is how it is'
'this will surely happen'
'I don't want that'
Maybe you've got a crystal ball I didn't get but, basically everything you wrote, I think an experienced business person, would roll their eyes at.
Things aren't going to go perfectly man.
You aren't going to nail it on your first try.
You aren't going to win, by being anxious that you might not win.

I started my first business at, god, as a teenager?
But my first real business at 22. After 15 years, I don't work now.
Did I fail, as I'm late 30s?
If you look at it a certain way, sure, I guess...
Yet....it's been the most magical ride ever.
I didn't get a map of where to go.
No one assured me of success.
I almost ruined it a bunch of times.
--
I didn't start out trying to win big on my first at bat.
I just started.
One step in front of the other.
I long ago stopped worrying that life was some perfect destination.
For me, it's an epic journey, and I've had so much fun, so many memories of building my business.
It's a riot, and a roller coaster.
But you've got to get on to ride.
