I think with the hydra approach, there will always be something to do and many ways for you to actually get money.

Yes, I like this amalgam approach and do see myself enjoying it. When I am busy, I am happy. The downside is the time it may take to steadily accrue my income and build my channels.

I guess it's the same for a start-up, except I could ideally learn more if there are experienced business people running it.
