Thread: how to find that "One Thing You're Passionate About"?

LOL wouldn't we all but I know for sure Business and guarantess NEVER play together unless you are scamming people.

If I had a business in front of me that was guaranteed to make $912,500 a year and guaranteed to sell for $3 mill in 3 years, of course I would take it

Here's an example of the type of "monetizable skills" I'm looking to seek out:

I like video games and board games, particularly strategy games like Risk, Axis & Allies, etc. I might be able to apply my passion for strategy to an industry that has money making potential, like home security. There is a huge 'survivalist' community that has shown they are willing to spend on this kind of information and service, and security/safety is one of the base needs a human has and therefore willing to spend the $$$. Some potential streams of income are information products, online consulting, in person consulting, affiliate product recommendations, speaking fees, and probably many more I haven't thought of.

So you see, what I'm trying to say is I don't need to start a business about a topic I'm passionate about, but instead a skill or process I can generalize to use for a profitable industry. The example above demonstrates that: while I love games, underneath it all I really love strategy. The help I was hoping for on this post was either ideas or resources (articles etc) on how to narrow down and further brainstorm these skills/processes that can be generalized.
