The bar for success in our industry is too low

I bootstrapped a consulting business, and didn't have any savings at all to do it. I had to be profitable from day one.

I did not even have a laptop at the time (for network diagnostics and the like) -- I just had my experience.

I've had to learn an awful lot about resource management as a result of doing it this way, and I'm grateful for that.

presumably there was a significant cost in time and/or money required to gain that experience.

You've got to live anyway. Might as well pay attention while you're doing it.
