You've not gone wrong, you just haven't succeeded _yet_. My advice would be to widen your vision a bit, stay positive, don't give up, and most importantly, and be open to other opportunities to fulfill the same goal of a successful business. Would running a different kind of successful business be as fulfilling? While I shared the same vision as you approximately 5 years ago (starting a SaaS business), ultimately that particular goal didn't work out. But pursuing that goal did open many doors for me as well as teach me a whole lot about business and how to negotiate. Fast forward through years of attempts at making the company successful, I now run a small consultancy that I consider extremely successful. I owe this directly to my initial goal of starting a SaaS business. Had I not pursued that goal, I believe my consultancy would not exist.
