Hey man,
I see you talk a lot about 'you deciding to start a ... or a ...', instead of potential needs you discovered in any market or people complaining about things (= opportunity).
Maybe it helps you to make a list of all the complaints you hear about and all the 'needs' that you know off in any industry.
Then make a column for each of the letters of the CENTS model of @MJ DeMarco just to track what need or opportunity would fit this model the best. And yea, you might have to do some research to answer each letter of CENTS for the problems/need you find. But that's part of the process. So then, you can make an excel sheet with colums like:
1. Complains / needs
2. Possible solution (if you know any or can think of one, research/brainstorming might be required)
3. Industry (mention what industry it is)
4. Control
5. Entry
6. Need
7. Time
8. Scale
9. Score (like, how many 'yes' this one complain/need has for each commandment of the CENTS model, which can be a max of 5 of course)
Fill in the blanks and see which complaint or what need is something you like to have a solution for. It's about giving value to people, don't follow the money. When you find something, focus on this one particular thing. Set yourself goals, a daily structure, find an accountability partner if you want and write down your progress and steps on the forum for people to help you.
It's not that you need a business that is in line with the CENTS model, it can be anything of course. Though, I suggest following the model and see if there is any option that fits these criteria. You never know.
Regarding the above, I would suggest you re-read the chapters in Unscripted about 'need' and 'entry'.

However, now I'm the phase today I'm deciding to do affiliate marketing, tomorrow I'm going to start a digital agency, next week I'm going to start a YouTube channel.
