I feel so lonely to start my own business

Everyone talks about the freedom and joy of owning a small business, but no one tells you how long and lonely the journey can be. It has been two months since I started, and all I feel is loneliness. I can’t deny that there are happy moments, but they are soon overshadowed by frustration and feeling overwhelmed. I have no close friends to discuss the details of my business with. Although my wife may be able to learn some aspects, she is not a professional in this field and is quite busy as well. It feels like I have been thrown onto a deserted island—I can receive input from others, but I have no way to express my feelings. The experience is vastly different from working in a team. Due to financial constraints, I don’t work with real people but instead rely on various AI tools, like ChatGPT as my assistant, Salesforce for CRM, Leadsnavi for lead generation, and HubSpot for overall promotion. These tools are incredibly helpful—even outperforming humans in many aspects—but they are not human. They can’t truly listen to me. I don’t know if anyone can truly understand how I feel, but all I want is for someone to know what I’m going through. For those who’ve been through it, how do you deal with the loneliness that comes with being your own boss?|
