> I wanted to run my own business (tech)

A key question to ask is why you want to run your own business? For the freedom? For the money? For the challenge? Which of these are you not getting at your position and how can you get it?

> What is it that I'm missing and would help?

Do you have a tech idea that you are passionate about? Can you survey 30 businesses that want it? Do you have enough savings to not have a client for several months?

Have you attended any startup weekends or incubator lectures?
