I tend to feel both great respect and regret for people in your situation (around here, it's mostly people with Turkish roots running Döner shops): while I admire the discipline needed to create, run and keep a business, no matter how small, I feel that living for your own eatery takes so many opportunities for traveling and understanding your hist country away. How can you really grasp a new country if you have to work long hours and can never take, let's say 4 weeks off in one go? (side note: that's from a German perspective where typically, people have 28 to 30 holidays a year -- adjust as needed for your own area).
OP, do you regret being "nailed to your business"?
