Starting with little or no money can make it tougher, even 3 years later. I will have to say this though. I would be making 3 times what I do today if I didn't take a year off to build a brick and mortar business.
But in the end, everything is mine and I make all the decisions and I own everything I invest in. I have no debts to anyone that could potentially set me back or harm my business. If I had borrowed money or partnered up (and I have turned down some deals with a few big cats in this biz) I would be in debt and sharing my income.
I am glad I started with nothing.
I do wish to go mainstream though, I have been slowly heading in that direction.
