"I’m not sold anymore on the idea of starting the next big thing that will revolutionize the world."

Gah. Failed already. Get yourself connected with whatever you're actually passionate about - something that you can connect to significant meaning and value in. That _can be_ your big thing.

If you're not connected to something you're strongly passionate about, why not just go back to being employed?
