Every time I think I'm on to something, I find out a little more info and conclude its no longer worth pursuing. Its like a recurring cycle. Very confused at this point. I feel like an idiot seeing kids in middle school as entrepreneurs and I'm still working a shitty job.

First I wanted to start a Debt Consolidation service but later found out I need a license.
2nd, A social news site, I lost enthusiasm for this project, didn't really believe it filled a need.
3rd, I wanted to become a Real Estate Investor, I realized I hated driving around all day knocking on doors, I know there are more efficent ways to make money.
4th, A mail advertising service for local businesses, I found out some company already does this (This is the idea I had the most faith in)


What am I doing wrong? I've tried taking a week off thinking/brainstorming and the same shit happens again. My last option in my mind before I lose it mentally is to just go out tomorrow morning and try selling my service (4th idea) to businesses just for the hell of it.
