If your business experience is in talking with and listening to other people, it is valuable. If you know about marketing or sales, it is valuable.

Instead of worrying about what to do, worry about how to meet people that are also interested in building things. The rest follows from there.

If you've got friends to explore with, the question becomes "what do we do?" instead of "what do I do?" and it's a more powerful mental place to start from. Still scary but not such an overwhelming existential question.

Once you've got exposure to the world you want to be in, you'll find your place. In the mean time, make sure you're saving money so you're capable of doing something about the opportunity you find, once you find it.
