It's not a race 
Start when you're secure, these things cycle around through lulls and highs depending on the conditions and how 'the sheep' spend their money or go into savings lockdown.
It's simply a case of two things.
Focusing on your strengths when it comes to business, in my case its market analysis and sales. My money management and finance juggling is ok, but I'm not an accountant by any stretch so I bolster that with 'paid advice' and sell that to whoever is giving me the finance.
The second is guts.
If you don't have the guts to keep going no matter what the hits you take along the way and just sticking to what works. It's not like gambling at all, gambling is for mugs and fools who lack the intelligence to work things out and think chance will favour them. I only ever got one break in life and I've been working it for all it's worth ever since. Sometimes that means I spent 6-7 days a week, 10-16 hours a day working that for all it was worth, it meant not going out, it meant never seeing friends and relationships can suffer to the point of breakdown if both partners aren't involved and assisting one another because otherwise you'll never see each other!
It hasn't made me a pleasant person, it's made me hard, self centred, sometimes distinctly antisocial and 'old' well beyond my years.
So, there is a loss in some ways without a dollar value.
But the alternatives aren't much chop in my opinion, I could work in sales again scraping up a decent living on commissions and probably be considered successful with a high 5 or 6 figure income, bugger that when the company you work for is making a 7 figure one, off you.
Which is something you all too well understand, otherwise you wouldn't have taken that first step and the guts to start your own business.
