If you do not have a good right hand person who can help you build your empire, you will find yourself building a miserable 16 hour/7 day a week prison you can't get out of. You could be making mad money, as I was doing, but if you never get to actually ENJOY IT! So what is the point?
My ambitions are much less now for juggling projects and investing my time and resources. I have now scaled back and invested in a lot of automation to where you retool things back into a manageable situation where you can enjoy the spoils of war and labor.
Additionally, I feel I am getting up there in age that I simply do not want to invest my time/money into 5-10 year projects any longer trying to be the next big (fill in the blank). I would much rather invest in a rich memorable life experience, like wandering around Europe for 3 months, or something like that. That is what I had gotten into all of this for in the first place. Being able to have the freedom to enjoy my life, make my own schedule, and travel the world.
