Why in God's name does most normal people think when you start a business you have to profit right away?
Because most people are undereducated about business and/or stupid.
Also, most people that start businesses have no money and always underestimate what things will cost and overestimate how much they'll sell. If they ever do any sums at all.
This is all very useful, it means that if know what you're doing, business is not as hard as a day job and can also make you rich.
I would normally advise against running two business.

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona. I am Ukraine.

Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved."
