The simple fact that you understand the rough road to success tells me you have a lot to offer to entrepreneurs that follow you. Regardless of whether your product achieved monetary success, everything you've learned and the wisdom you've gained makes you a success in my book.
I couldn't agree more about people peddling quick solutions to everything. Any time I see a "learn X in 24-hours" or whatever, I just shake my head. Anything worth learning / pursuing takes time, dedication, and hard work. Nobody builds a company, learns to play guitar, or masters baking in a day, a week, or even a year. People peddling such false promises are just selling snake oil. You, however, have the scars to prove you've been there, lived the journey, and could offer a lot of support to other struggling entrepreneurs.
