Some people believe that you can't find success in anything until you've full invested yourself in something.
Personally, I'd wait. If you really want to turn your money around quick invest in stocks. Statistically it's less risky than starting a business with your capital.

My goals... are big and audacious. It's not just about money. If $100,000,000 magically appeared in my bank account, that would not be enough. My goal is self-fulfillment. Ever since I was a kid I believed in my abilities. I took for granted that I will succeed in anything I set out to do. And so far, that assumption pretty much held up.
Naturally, I feel somewhat wasted at work. I'm not challenged, and I don't have to put any special effort to do my job very well and get noticed. I just cruise through the days, knowing that I will get promoted at roughly the same time no matter what I do - no matter how well I do my job, being 23 keeps me from getting an executive promotion. And honestly, an executive position isn't even all that appealing to me.
The 6 or 7 hours a week I spend doing business are the only ones where I truely feel challenged, and it's a real high for me. The only thing that compares is the moment I step on the grass in the park to start my morning jogs - But that's just endorphins drugging the shit out of me.
