Perhaps, perhaps not. By not having a degree, few potential employers are open-minded enough to even consider hiring you.
Please don't make the mistake that so many make, thinking that college is just "advanced High School". It isn't.
What a college does is helps you learn how to learn. You see, in the real world, we very rarely know what we need to know, meaning that we must learn something - usually a highly complex subject - and know it at an advanced level, quickly and accurately. And knowing how to teach yourself something like that is a critical success skill.
As proof ask anyone in industry who has a college degree, how much of what they actually learned do they use in their work.

You also know yourself well enough to know that you dislike taking direction from others. While a self-directed entrepreneur is a good choice for you, unless you are as smart as you think you are, you'll get awfully hungry soon.
I do not know you, so please forgive me for making several assumptions here, but it seems to me that you think quite highly of yourself. That kind of thinking can lead to disaster, even if true but especially if misplaced. Please do me (and yourself) a favor and find some very intelligent people, who know you well and whom you trust, and ask THEM if you are too full of yourself, or if your superior self-image is accurate.
Listen carefully to their comments. Don't speak, don't try to 'defend'. Just listen and, later, see if it makes sense.
Good luck.
