Business is very good game. Last month lost over $10,000, not including future business deals. From such and similar experiences I understand only this:

1) if you do not have enough of money, you are attached to them,
2) you are absolute reason of your money, and if it is so, fine, even you lose everything you will retain all you power even quicker than before.

As example, when I've sold zongoo.com, I've realized that I need additional source of income. I have worked over 10 months to make zongoo.com bring $1000 per month profit. After its sale I've retained same level of earnings in a week. Because only few things work, and 99% of actions are not neeeded for results production.
