    Is this possible?
    I'm currently in the process of starting up a couple of businesses. They are very, very different but there is a possibility that they could be interwoven. My main question is, do you think it would be possible for me to successfully launch both businesses simultaneously? Or should I perhaps defer the launch of one of them? I have no current time restraints, so I'm able to devote quite a large amount of time to each business. Any help or input will be gratefully received.

    Thanks for your quick responses!

    I had a feeling that the general consensus would be to focus on only one initially, so I'm not shocked by your input. I appreciate it very much.

    No problem, it's the safe way without losing anything (If all goes well) which I'm sure it will

    Are you really ready to launch multiple businesses at once if you need to ask random people on the internet for help? Just saying.

    I'm not asking for help with the day-to-day running of my businesses. My initial post was to gauge the general opinion of people, and also to seek feedback from people who have experience from both sides of the spectrum, which I've received and has contributed to my general business plan. My second post was to find people who would be willing to assist with something - those who have messaged me have received the details of what I'm seeking help with. I am doing this alone and am not seeking help from people with regards to anything to do with the actual running of the business, just simple things that require the input of outsiders.
