Aiming to create the next Youtube, Twitter or Google is nice, but not realistic. Building a consistently profitable business, on the other hand, is very realistic.

Find a niche market, create a great product, and use your money in an "invest > save > spend" priority. Investing to grow your business, saving in case you need to weather through bad times (or, should you get lucky, sustain unexpected growth), and spending only when needed.

Almost no business is successful right from the start, and certainly not without the right connections. The idea is not to hit gold, but to create gold - a process that is rather lengthier.
