That is why the gods created specialists. We homesteaders pride 
ourselves on being able to do almost anything and everything. I am 
better off when I recognize my weaknesses and hire someone else to do 
those things. In my case that would include mechanical stuff.

Marketing people are highly valuable. You need at least a helper and 
perhaps a partner, who would be better motivated. Open yourself to 
having one of your customers become involved in the biz.
