I followed a very similar path for a long time. I am 37 now and have been in tech for over 20 years (I started very young). Over the years, I have worked many places, started my own consultancy, freelanced, and have tried starting many other businesses and online services over the years (invoicing, disposable email, some B2B services, project management, etc.).
Most of my business ideas have failed. Some have had limited success (a few hundred per month at most), and only ONE (my latest one) has been pretty noticeably successful right off the bat.
Just keep trying and pushing forward. It has taken almost 2 years since launch, but my Google Sheets add-on that imports bank transactions called BudgetSheet ( https://www.budgetsheet.net https://www.budgetsheet.net ) is only just now very close to $1k MRR and still growing. It's funny to me because my most successful ideas have never been ones that were new or novel. Just practical, useful, and really well understood things that save people time or make their lives easier.
