I feel that you have things the wrong way around. To build a successful business you really need to find what you love first of all.
If you don't start your own business doing what you love you are just swapping one boss for many. You will just end up working for your customers rather than doing something you love.
I would maybe suggest continue to work for someone else, but seriously look at it from the point of view of going to school and getting paid to learn.
Look and listen at work and learn everything you can.

While you are there learning, figure out what it is that you love to do and how you can build a business out of that.
