Also, ignore all the people who tell you that you'll fail and just go for it!

Terrible advice.
If you can't work 40 hours a week for someone where you have no passion, that doesn't mean you won't be able to handle it when you're working for yourself.
I've done both- work for myself 80 hours a week, and I'be also worked for a very large multinational corporation 80 hours a week.
Working for yourself doesn't always feel like work. Working for the man ALWAYS kills your soul.
