I've been in business for the past four years now and I'm not making the progress that I would like to. I believe that the main problem is that instead of running a true business, I actually just own my job.
Don't get me wrong. I'm making about $500k/year with my consulting. But the only reason I have chosen this profession is because I couldn't come up with anything else. So I went with the high paying skill I already had and ran with it.
I have always struggled with coming up with business ideas or a niche to be in. I've read book, watched videos and listened to podcasts trying to figure out how to go about the process of finding new ideas. In the end I always come up empty.
It seems like most of the material I find contains the same ideas. "Find something you're passionate about". Honestly, I don't have any passions. Then they say "solve problems in your industry since you know it best" I already do that. That's why I'm a consultant for the type of work I do. Then the rabbit hole leads down the path of affiliate marketing, content creation and drop shipping. Of which I have no interest in doing.
I guess I'm just curious on how others have successfully figured this out. I feel like I keep hitting a wall and I figured as a member of this forum, I should reach out to this great community and get some advice.
Thank in advance.
