End Of The Beginning

You did not comply completely with plans. You bent the universe to suit you. This is good, but only insofar as you are not aware of the universe. Once you recognise the universe, understand it, and acknowledge it - which are themselves massive steps that can already take a lifetime - once you are aware, then bending comes with a cost.

OK, let's start the day.

That is, growing a company to a level where it can consistently sustain itself (people and everything else) as well as turn a profit.  Not all Sole Proprietorships make money, but even fewer make enough money to stop relying on the founder.
