I know it's bloods and guts, sacrifices include living a lower quality of life in exchange for gambling to make a business start-up successful.

It's exactly the gambling that confuses me. Additionally, I think my brain is just entertaining me, saying, once I find a solid footing for my start-up; it all goes up from here and I'd be driving a maserati.

Of course this is not the case, start-ups would take many years before it can even become successful. Being the self proclaimed "CEO" of my own business doesn't mean I will enjoy living the free life, no, I might probably just be enslaved by my clients, they are the boss and it might even be harder than working as a grunt for a big company.

So why is my brain tricking me? What can I do to separate illusion from reality, I'm over here cutting my hours from my work just so I can "try" to manifest my day dreaming. Perhaps my motivation and discipline is lacking, but is there a blueprint for such a dilemma?

Edit: I'm looking to start up a small online business catering to social media management, I only have two B2B persons I'm working with. I think I'm so hot, I need to be slapped... Virtually. I haven't even created a landing page for example. I sacrificed a bit already and sometimes I just wonder if there's actually gold in the end of that tunnel, or it's just my brain trying to escape the monotony of the adult working life.
