Working on a business / own body is a great way to trade a bad addiction (e.g. WoW) for a healthy one.

I truly believe that the most important changes in one owns life are about habbits.

If your habbit is to get home after work and fire up the PC for some grinding in a Video-Game, then the treshold to do something more productive is nearly as high as the threshold to grind in a pc-game when your habbit is to come home and fire up the PC for some coding/blogging/vlogging.

Same thing with eating healthy, working out etc etc.

Regarding the less-risk. While I've never done 24/7 for clients - the work for @smartsteem is sometimes truly nerve-wrecking. (Which has often harsh consequences on other humans that have to interact with me.)

Especially, when money and automatisation is working together and the possibility of bugs is always present.

So I guess - congratulations on deciding what you don't want to do :)
