    If you are unable to move out of home for financial reasons, to start off you need to take responsibility for your side of cooking, housework, give some money towards bills. I would like to think you are doing this and you would not be a burden on your parents.

    But you need to have goals. Getting your ideal job, moving out of home etc. To do this you have to go to college, if that is not an option you need to get a job where there are opportunities and work from the bottom up.

    Nothing that is worth doing is going to come easy, so you have to decide to do it and the rewards will be great when you reach your goals.

    The online business; you need to work on getting traffic to it by using social media etc., well there is a whole area of learning around SEO (search engine optimization) that you would have to study to start getting traffic to your site. Which is very doable, so let that be one of your goals.

    Taking responsibility is the big step into becoming an adult. There is no easy options, unfortunately.

    Why did you quit college?? Go back!

    I'd drop the business, then go back to college full-time while living on campus.

    You just need a bit of responsibility to get the ball rolling!
