I want to run my own business for several reasons * The challenge of building a business from ground up. * Working for something that is my own. * The idea that I can be financially free if I'm successful (but this is secondary)

I don't think I'm getting any of those from my jobs so far.

With regards to ideas that I've had that I'm passionate about definitely. Your second question is more of a problem in that I'm not quite sure how to gauge and maybe this is something that I should work on. I do have savings for a couple of months.

I've worked at several startups and been to hackathons, lectures, pitches etc.
