I'm 50 and have experienced many failures, yet I still work for myself and have managed to secure funding for my latest project and even got invited to submit a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation. Edison said, famously, "I can't tell you what works but I can tell you 1,000 things that don't work." Thirty is still quite young; you have lots of life and ideas in you left. If you were born with the entrepreneurial spirit, I say keep at it. You might need to pivot to a different project or even a different industry, but I wouldn't recommend giving in or giving up! For me, it's always helped to identify real-life heros, people who have achieved what you want. Read their bios. Learn everything you can about their struggles, their failures, and their successes. Mark Cuban said that overnight success takes a lifetime. May that inspire you!
