Your wife is a gem, putting up with your chasing opportunities with poor market fit.
The essence of business is delivering something that people want so much that they are willing to pay for it.
It appears that with Quadregal (I assume it is the consulting biz you mentioned) you have over 500 successes. Based on the information you have shared it appears to be a successful business.
If you were to stop thinking the grass is greener elsewhere, you might realize that the grass under your feet is already green and with more watering and care it would be the greenest.
Wouldn't you be making even more money than by taking a job if you were to focus your talents and energies upon the business that is already supporting you and your family? Taking agency income to prop-up a capital intensive idea is not honoring your responsibility to your family and your patient wife.
You only need to quit doing what doesn't work and do more of what does.
