You, cant', control, everything. Especially if you are not in the right place with the right connections and so forth. YC initial startups were cool built by smart people but their astonishingly high success rate is due to other factors as well: this not to diminish their value but to put things in context. So don't be mad at yourself if you can't create a successful business. Try to solve a smaller problem with paying customers to build your 500k/year business and enjoy life or just get a normal job and don't care. Take care.
