Yeah, the path I layed out would be a lot of hard work for little returns at first if ever. It's the kind of road you really have to be dedicated to. People who run their own business are known to get very little sleep and even the CEO's/upper executives of some of the bigger companies I've worked with I found work 18 - 19 hours a day.
One problem for me with getting my own business going is my organizational skills are shit and I'm horrible at charging people for my services. i.e. I didn't realize my contractor fee I've been charging is about $60 an hour less than what I should've been charging. But at the same time my inner self has a really hard time raising that price because the work I do comes so easily to me it seems criminal.
