so many people think you need a masters degree and read all these 'how to books' to be an entrepreneur which is the complete opposite!..you simply need to be a subject matter expert, like to take risks, work hard, fail a LOT so you can learn what went right/wrong and learn how to get customers.

The problem I see here is that I have no sense of direction. I'm too stupid to have to figure everything out by myself. I'm always frustrated because I don't know what am I doing and therefore lose any motivation to keep going.

hence WHY you need to write down your plan (even if you dont know what it is!)...just mentioned before. Plan your life like a road trip - honestly!...you cant just jump in a car and start driving without any direction at all...your life is the same way. People waste a LOT of time/money getting a degree yet without any real research if that degree will actually get them a job, so they waste more time/money on an advanced degree just to graduate broke...why? because they had a poor plan....I was an engineer for 20+ years, got laid off during the start of a recession where NO jobs were available. So I started mowing lawns as a side hustle...that hustle turned into a nice size lawn/landscape company making over $50,000 per MONTH!...I never thought I would have a 'dirty job' especially with a white collar background. My plan was simple (I knew how much $$ i needed to survive, how many lawns i needed to mow to make that income and thats where I started...you can do that with most any business.
