The main goal of a homestead should not be to make money. The main goal should be sustainability. You have only one life and what you create, influence, and build is what you and therefore your homestead is here for.
You have to examine the Big picture
The way you take care of your farm and your neighbors influence the way you and your family will be treated when you need help - and we all end up needing help eventually. No man is an island and all that jazz.
Finally dont get so caught up in the minutia of little issues that may ruin you day. Once I walked 4 miles up a hollow with baskets and buckets only to find the berries I was sure were there were still blooming and I had brought help to pick them. I was so embarassed until the help I brought told me how much they appreciated me sharing the beauty and solitude of the trail I had led them in on and thanked me for the journey even though the fruit we had went after never materialized.
