This btw gets REALLY confusing if you're an older person running a one-person business. The business is a young, startup-like thing, but it is so co-extensive with your life that it is also like your (middle-aged, complicated) life. So you have to switch between the two modes.

I'd love to hear more elaboration on this. After a dozen years at big insurance companies, I recently went to work a startup, at the relatively old age of 36. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it all.

A lot of the same principles apply. Fixed and switching costs higher, existing scale makes experiments less palatable, etc. When I’m old and established it will likely be rational to not disrupt myself and I’ll leave it to the kids.
