Who is tomoviktor?
I am a 17 years old guy, an IT student from Hungary. I enjoy web development and prioritize self-improvement, along with frequent gym workouts. I worked 1 year at a (web) IT company. Now I am trying to do my best to move towards my main goal: creating a profitable business which gives me financial freedom.

Journey
I am going to write down just the essential things. I believe that I have to share my journey in order to get useful help.
I have read The Millionaire Fastlane , which was really eye-opening. After that, I started to learn and study the things I thought I would need:
  • Read and noted out 3 marketing books from Russell Brunson
  • Read few self-improvement books and applied things from them (just to name a few: The One Thing by Gary Keller, Essentialism by Greg McKeown, Atomic Habits by James Clear)
  • Learned the basics of finance and economics
While learning, I also honed my web development skills by developing projects. I didn't earn any money out of these nor I intended to. These were projects of my own (custom apps I can use or my own blog) and apps for my dad. Also, I have been improving myself physically too by consistently going to the gym.

Right now I have had enough of my "learning phase". I want to fully switch to producer mode and offer value to the world. I feel like I have the time, knowledge, motivation and bravery to start, but somehow I am still stuck at the starting line.

How can I actually start?
If I thought about starting I always imagined creating some kind of web based SaaS, this thinking is mainly adopted from a different forum where most people end up making money with things like these.
Unfortunately, I can't come up with an idea. I thought this is the easiest part, but now it looks like it isn't. I tried a few methods. For example: brainstorm ideas, brainstorm problems, tried to look at existing products and select the ones I like so later I can value skew. I bounce here and there, but I can't find a valuable idea.
What should I do? Maybe my "idea making factory" isn't the next step.

Thanks for reading my post, I welcome every thought and advice!
