You are getting closer. I think what making it even hard is, money is not an issue right now. My search and hesitation has been my mental projection of seeing myself doing that one thing in a 5 year span in a complete loss just because of my love for it. Maybe I'm looking more for this more profound target where to focus my attention and energy in a more romantic way that just purely money making. Or am I just delusional in seeking this?

Have you considered starting a family? All these ideas about love and romance might be better expressed outside a business context.

We do have a family, but again that cannot be all. I do want a deeper sense of purpose in my life knowing that I did something for somebody else, doing through a business would allow me to do it in a sustainable and focused way (not volunteering). Historically I always struggled not giving all myself towards an objective and that is how I operate the best of myself.

No I haven't, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Unfortunately the job market seems less vicious than the dating market.

I believe the set of people who complain about the “dating market” and the set of those who believe dating is a market is the same set.
