Ask HN: What are the most difficult aspects of running an online/app business?

For those who have significant income from side projects, apps, ecommerce sites, small businesses: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6431573) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4467603) etc.

Particularly for those who have worked/work as a salaried software engineer and run a business, I'm curious how the work differs. Are there roles that you have been forced to take on that are particularly frustrating/exciting/challenging? What are the most difficult things that you have to deal with day in, day out? What are the most rewarding things?
