You have to be “all in” to start a business. As Yoda said “Do or do not, there is no try”.
It takes your spare time, your energy, your smarts, your money, your patience and above all, your commitment and persistence.
Ezra Firestone is one of those guys who went all in and kept going. He now has several ecommerce businesses generating about $20 million a year and providing jobs for over 40 people.

How Much Does it Cost to Start a Business? Everything
People often ask me, “How much does it cost to start a business?”
And I think that is the wrong question to ask (I’ll explain why in sec)…

All your time. All your money. All your energy.
It’s going to take everything you got.
For me, that meant staying up late after my day job watching training DVDs and building my site, and investing whatever money I could when I could.
For you, it will mean something else.
But why is that the wrong question?
Because when a person asks me that, it tells me they’re in a scarcity mindset.
It tells me they either don’t have the surplus to start a business right now, or (more often), they don’t want it enough.
The person asking that question usually lacks enthusiasm and commitment…
