Stop talking like that right now! That negative little voice in your head will make your failure a self fulfilling prophesy. Don't mean to get all Dr. Phil on you, but if you're serious about starting a business, there is never room for that kind of talk, especially to yourself.
I believe you have me wrong here, just on being able to make the application (yc, etc) hurdles. I have 30,000 + users in nearly 15,000 different organizations using the system I have developed.
I am also about to release a version that works & acts like ning.com, and versions targeted towards specific verticals (all that run on the same base of code, so there is no code duplication at all).
