Ask HN - Should I be more entrepreneurial?

3 years ago, I started a one-man company building electronic hardware
for artists. I did everything myself: electronics, software,
manufacturing, accounting, marketing, music. The only thing lacking
was any business sense whatsoever: I quickly burnt out after 2 years,
realizing that I just worked 90 hour weeks making 10$ an hour.

Rethinking my priorities, I figured out that I actually had already
reached my “4 goals in life” (to use new-agey self-help blog-terms):
make art, make technology, having friends and family, enjoying life. I
also realized what I don’t know how to do: managing people,
understanding people, being business-savvy enough to make money. I
have done the crazy stuff I wanted to do, and at age 29 feel like I’m
actually retiring, doing stuff that is just like watering my plants.

Since me slowly shutting my electronics venture down, I’ve been quite
happily freelancing halftime without trying very hard (doing
electronics and software and selling a bit of my art), making about
60k-80k per year, and pursuing my other projects on the side. I don’t
miss the excitement of having a company, and am usually happy doing
one-man projects.

I know I’m completely underselling myself when I am freelancing (I
work for 50$/h at the moment, although I had gigs for 100 EUR / hour
this year as well), which I understand as me not actually
caring. However, I think I miss the possibility of being able to pay a
smart developer to develop a compiler backend for me, the possibility
to have a design agency design some custom cases. Business-like
endeavors that are more driven by a love for art and technology than
market, which I learnt is a recipe bound for failure. I do think some
of my ideas are quite

I know that I’m quite sharp and pick up things easily, as well as
having a laser-like focus, intensity and self-discipline to push those
through, as long as I don’t get bored, which is as soon as I feel like
I’m not learning anything anymore. Would you recommend me to:

* Chill out, relax, and enjoy what I have

* Look for someone to manage me, keeping 80% off my 20% but allowing
  me to have a bit of a bigger scope

* Manning up, study business, finance and marketing, play the game and
  make some serious $$$ for a few years

* Slowly ramp up my revenue, getting more consulting gigs rather than
  codemonkey gigs, getting a suit and upselling myself

* Slowly building up a few “moneyprinting” endeavours (a few iphone
  apps, a few webapps), either slowly building up a revenue stream or
  actually turning into something that someone would like to take over
  or nurture to $$$
