I grew up very modestly, borderline poverty. None of my extended family/friend went to college, I was the first one to graduate from college later in life.
I was always a good student A- since it didn't come easy but I was eager and motivated to put the time and work to achieve.
When I was 18 with a few buddies we started a "fun" business and it was mildly successful. When I tried to start another business everyone told me that I needed an education (college).
Fast forward a couple of decades I have my BS and MBA,with a decent career in high tech (operations). Through the years I have started a few projects and they all failed (my bad), at the same time I have been working for entrepreneurs who are able to make a pretty good living with mediocre ideas and bad management.
I am now at a point in my career where I have the time and some funds to start something, but I am stuck by "analysis paralysis". I know AI is a great opportunity, but I can't find a pain point to use as an entry point.
I am well versed with Paul Graham essays, with the Innovator's Dilemma strategy, and Lean Startup methodology; still not much going on.
I have also done Startup School.
Am I just an employee-type and not cut for entrepreneurship?
Looking for honest feedback, resources, pointers anything.
Thank you in advance.
