Hello, 19 y.o from the Philippines. How do I cope with the fact that I could've started 3 years ago? Where to start from a 3rd world?

What I mean by 'cope' is how can I outperform myself so much from this day towards that every lazy thing that I did for the past years will be overcompensated.

I know that everything happens for a reason, but I can't help but feel pissed. I know that I could've taken action 3 years ago to develop a business, but I felt like I had little confidence then. I'm currently reading 'The Millionaire Fastlane ' and I knew about this book way, way before. It just feels like everything is coming through right now, and massive change is happening with my actions in the past few days. I can't help but be pissed with the time wasted, and I'm using that as fuel.

A little background about myself: I'm 19, born here in the Philippines, college-dropout (without my parents knowing), ENTJ, I love philosophy, and I don't know if this matters or I should share this but I'm born in a political family and since this is the "fastlane" I'm finding some advice on how can I turn this into my advantage in a way that there's inevitable powerful people. I would love to discuss this with somebody preferable with a background in construction. The point of asking this is to assess whether this is something that I can take advantage of from your POV.

I know that I'm against the odds zip code wise but there's unfair advantages on everything in life.

For starters, my long-term plan (and passion) is tech startups, but I figured I need to take the fast lane path first and build to sell. I want to retire my family first and enjoy my life for a period of time before I neurotically immerse myself in work again. My short-term, tunnel vision right now is cash, and my plan right now is to start creating personal branding then a community while running a cash cow on the side. I know that these questions that I ask are separate questions, but I just want to ask if there's viability for what I do.

At what point of entrepreneurship do I start asking questions to people like these? What I mean is, do I ask for validity of my plan? If yes, what part? What about execution? Etc...

Thanks for answering and book/reading recommendations, please! I don't really know any entrepreneurs IRL, so I'm resorting to here for now. I would love to connect with y'all but the only thing that I could in value right now is my raw, primordial fuel of wanting to succeed that will translate into something great in the near future and then I would ask myself what can I contribute from that point on.
