You need to have the money, the energy, and patience to experiment until you get it right.

Money: do it while you’re young and don’t need a lot. Or get first rich. Or collect enough money on a dream.

Energy: again being young helps. Having 2 smalls kids and old parents doesn’t.

Patience: that’s the more esoterical part. It’s hard to know when to keep on grinding and when to quit.
