The longer I do this the more I’m loosing motivation for it. It’s requiring every waking moment of my time, and I’m so immersed in it that it’s very difficult to find new inspiration in the music that I listen to and in what I make, it seems like I’m running in circles sometimes.

This is what it is like for everyone who is not the talent. You take something you have passion about, and you turn it into a mentally draining job with small stretches of "Cool, this why I do this" plus you have to run a business that always needs new business. This is the tough part to get through until you get established or have a mental meltdown...or get a corporate job.
