Passive income business turn profitable but reached a growth ceiling

Hey, I have no idea how to say it, but I have invested $3000-$5000 into a business that made me more than $15k+ and is still making me money right now, but the revenue is just like I had a part-time job. We are between $500-$1000 in a good month and $300 with me doing nothing but just checking in. I was obsessed with investing since I was 19; I'm 26 now. I dropped out of school at 23 because I was failing academically, switched degrees, and dropped out because I had no motivation to pursue a shitty degree, which would have made me end up in a shitty position anyway. I spent 3 years building a business, but I didn't reach the financial goal I wanted after 3 years, which was to turn it into a full-time income because it would have required me more time and money. Now I can't stop feeling like I've wasted my time instead of just trying to finish school and get a degree, because I'm 26 with no college degree. I can't stop feeling like a fucking loser despite turning the money I invested into passive income. I'm planning to go back to school in 2027 I feel like I was just one of those stupid, ambitious kids who watched too many YouTube videos about money gurus. Is there anyone who felt that way? Do you think your early 20s was the best time to just take a risk like this? Because I literally feel like shit and feel like I was too ambitious and got brainwashed by the internet.

    man the internet really did a number on our generation with this stuff you're not stupid for trying just unlucky with the timing and maybe the approach dropping 3 to 5k and turning it into 15k+ is actually not bad at all most people lose everything in first year of business you got something that still prints money even if its not life changing amounts school will always be there i went back at 26 too felt old surrounded by 19 year olds but nobody cares about age as much as you think they do the degree is just a ticket to get past HR filters anyway your early 20s is exactly when you should take these shots before mortgage and kids and all that weight shows up you have the passive income streams now and can study without being completely broke thats a win most students dont have dont let the youtube gurus make you feel like if you didnt hit 10k a month you failed those guys sell dreams not reality you built something real and learned more than any business degree would teach you
