Yes, this road is very lonely. Always has been. Entrepreneurship is going against the grain, with no help or support. Until one day you make it and then everyone tells you how easy you have it. Is it no different than when European settlers came to America or all of the space program. Exploration is in our blood, few undertake such ventures, and it is always a lonely endeavour.
In my experience (US-based), small business owners are one of the most celebrated segments of the population. I assume it is a small business if there are no other employees with which to celebrate.
There is lots of help and support available from the SBA to special tax breaks.
The space program had a lot of scientists working on the same big project, and the European settlers had the backing of their government to take land from the native tribes
Even the first men on the moon were a team of what, three guys in the capsule and two in the lander itself?
