Below are some stats regarding starting your own business in perspective. [1]
Starting a business is hard and takes a long time. It also takes a fair amount of luck.
May I suggest, next time you have a business idea, you pitch it to as many successful business people you can find. They don't have to be VC's or Angel investors. Pick any successful business owner in your community.
Ask them for their honest opinion. If they say they like it, see if they would "put their money with their mouth is" and would invest in your idea.
In the mean time, do as others have suggested: get a good paying job and start saving as much as you can. You are going to need much more than $5,000 to pay for living and business expenses when you go all in on your next venture.
