Not really.
First off, you're an asshole, and most people will work with you until the
first time you throw a tantrum and call them names, then leave.
Secondly, you're not gonna have profits to share until you can make a working
system, and since you reject the very concept of doing the work to make a
system workable, or even learning how a workable system looks, it's never
gonna happen.
I normally try not to discourage people, because I think just about anyone
can succeed at just about anything if they try, but I think you may actually
have a genuine inability to ever pull this off. I would be absolutely
flabbergasted if you actually accomplished anything significant without a
major shift in your attitude.

You know, I've been doing technical writing and programming for a long
time now, and I've only once EVER gotten a paycheck for a number in that
range. Since most companies pay in 24 pay periods these days, a $30,000
paycheck represents a salary of AT LEAST $720,000 per year -- and more likely
quite a bit more, since paychecks are generally after taxes.
That said, even those are way larger than the twenties you're used to. :)

getting anywhere with computers. They're pickier than I am.
