Why do you want to run your own business? What are the positives you hope to gain from doing that? I spent my mid-twenties convinced that I wanted to found a startup and live that life, but having recently emerged in my 30s I've realised that what I actually wanted was the freedom to make my own choices about what I work on and how. I never cared about entrepreneurship.

I left the startup world behind and my life satisfaction went through the roof - I no longer felt guilty for not crushing it 100%, or that I hadn't sold a successful company by the age of 24. I'm not saying this is the answer for you, but it's never a bad thing to get some perspective. Get out of the bubble - take a road trip around some states, maybe. Take a break from Hacker News. You and your friends might be chasing the wrong thing.
