Market until you absolutely can’t keep up with all the work. At that point, hire someone to do what you’re worst at and they’re great at. Rinse and repeat.

The above is where you should be when starting a business. Good luck!

I’ve seen multiple people tell you it’s too early to know yet. I disagree. It may be too early, but not making sales at a 50% discount during the holidays for your market is real market feedback.

When you feel tension as an entrepreneur, listen to it, and be honest with yourself. It may be a business, but if you’re body is telling you no and it’s making you unhappy, it could be denial.

As to the $6k, 3% to kick the can down the road is a bad investment. If you have the cash, pay it off. It will have the added benefit of making what you’re doing more real.
