Biggest barrier is not enough sales or interest from others for my ideas. I've got my products out there, but I don't earn enough from them to afford working on them full time.
It seems you've started already, so big win right there. Going full time is something else, I don't recommend it until you have "enough" traction and validation; ideally, a clear path to profitability.
In my experience:

- People think they need to be full-time on their business

- People think their idea is not worth it

- People don't know how to run a business, so they paralyze

What do you think? What was the main barrier for you to start?

The #1 problem is that there is no place to hide. The founder cannot blame anyone but him/herself, and will be judge by merit.
