to the OP's original question, yeah, I did
built a biz I was proud of that made a lasting impact on my niche of the industry that remains to this day, long after I sold it. my peers get paid more now cuz of the standard I decided to raise way back then. I'm proud of that
def affected my health and my primary relationship, got to the point my nerves were shot, was puking constantly due to stress and I was even dreaming about the damn biz. it grew to big for me to handle but the most vital parts of it couldn't be outsourced
so I sold it, and used the proceeds to buy an offline biz that is way less pressure and much more fun. it not being in adult greatly reduces the uphill climb. the online biz was great, I thrive on challenge and I made wicked friends and peers through it, but it was very isolating. all the pressure and responsibility was on me but so many elements of it were completely beyond my control
was a wild ride, I did love it. until I didn't and I sold and moved on. no regrets
