Guy I went to school with started going through the neighborhood setting up grass cutting (and snow shoveling) contracts. 50$/month per house. By the time we graduated he was effectively full time. Last time we talked he had scaled up to his third truck.
Point being, not all businesses require that level of challenge.
Also, since the point and intent seems to be the aim at creating a parallel economy, could really just focus on stuff made in China and creating a local version of it.
Valid, but really depends on the business.

Maybe not, but it's best to go into it expecting to be wrung out.
Determination and persistence alone are omnipotent.
