I'm here on the internet to find like-minded peeps
Let me see if I can help. I feel like everyone here is speaking English, but different frames of reference means the messages being sent are not the ones being received.
It's a little like people are speaking different languages. let me see if I can bridge the gap.
Let's start at the beginning. You want to find people who think like you.
But this community does not think like you. Our thinking is better for us, and maybe you won't like our approach. But I suspect you will...
figure out if I can get some direction on what to do. Basically, I need help and I don't know how else to find it other than the internet.
This is a list of what I'm best at. Any ideas what would be a good pursuit that would bring value to my community/society (and ideally make me more money than my current role every could)?
At first glance, it might seem like we all think alike. But this comment shows that what you are after is essentially creating yourself a different job doing something that makes you more money and that you like more than what you're doing now.
And people here, generally speaking, want to build a business that's an asset for them that they control that will provide them both time and money freedom.
And to do that, you need to learn for yourself, decide for yourself and do for yourself. Figure things out.
It's a different mindset right from the beginning.
Not that there's anything wrong with your approach. It's just different than what this forum is about and preaches.
But we do have something in common.
what would be a good pursuit that would bring value
This question is where it all starts.
Because you wrote this, I figured I'd take a little time to respond.
Another way to think about it is what problem can you solve, that someone will pay you to solve.
So go back over that list and look at that list through the lens of problems to be solved.
What is the problem?
How can you solve it?
How will you get paid?
Once you've adjusted your list to factor that in, you need to start thinking in terms of resources. Time, money, and knowledge are your three limited resources.
Here's a post I wrote that will help you try and formulate the right questions and might get you unstuck from your current situation. It's one of those gold posts you wanted someone to point out...
GOLD! - IDEA - So Many Ideas, How To Choose? A Simple Guide To Getting Unstuck
Over in @Antifragile 's thread about scaling up in business, @mikecarlooch and I had an exchange. You can read it yourself starting here. Basically, he was saying he has a bunch of ideas and doesn't know where to start. I've had this chat with several people lately, and thought I could expand...

And I just want to thank @Andy Black for pointing out that we here on the forum might be better leaders by taking a less confrontational stance with people who are here. After all, they don't speak our language yet...
