I suppose it could. I guess one would need to look down deep to understand what would make them most happy in the end. Taking the risk of running a business should be part of that consideration. Personally, doing my own thing has been about personal freedom and optionality. I don't think you need to make it big to fulfill that dream. Many people believe that you need to build a billion dollar company or you've failed. There is nothing wrong with making a $100k/year business and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Happiness should be the goal.
