This may or may not be applicable to your situation, but let me tell you how I once screwed myself.
A few years ago I tried getting into supplements. Among other things, I paid a lawyer to set up my Llc. Sure, I could have gone the DIY route, but I had never done one myself so I wanted it done right. I also paid to get a few other things done because I wanted tyem done right. In reality I was "action faking" and the one thing I did best was fool the hell out of myself. I spent a few grand before making a single sale. Incidentally, much of what I "wanted done right" was done wrong because even though I paid pros, they were following my flawed instructions. Long story shortened, I lost a few grand flailing aimlessly in a business I knew nothing about. My net gain was that I learned not to spend money on all that before getting the all important momentum of SELLING. I posed for my victory portrait before I ran the race. Oops, my bad.
So, again, my story may not fit your circumstances. Still when I hear "should I....?" my gut screams. It's screaming at me, but if you read this and it sounds a shade too familiar then I'm glad to have spoken up. If I'm the only guy in the room wearing this dunce cap, that's ok too.
