I have yet to meet a person who has tried it who hasn't encountered some sort of extreme difficulty or interference, myself included. You should definitely not do it by yourself, ever. I would personally recommend not doing it at all.
Is this advice similar to Robin Williams' advice for people who wanted to be stand up comics?
"Don't do it." he said. "Never become a stand up comedian."
"Why not?" asked the reporter.
"Because those who really want to do it will ignore my advice and do it anyway."
Also, what sort of difficulties did you personally encounter?
