Overcoming analysis paralysis/ achieving clarity

[Vas87]

Looking for advice on how to achieve clarity on what next step to take. I am a locum optometrist thats been doing it for 10 years now, so have saved up some money. I have about 200k that I can spend on setting up a business/ buying a business. My issue is after 10 years of the same career, I feel like my skillset is very narrow. I have read plenty of business/ marketing books but am at the crossroads of taking action. I could set up my own optometry practice but I am no longer interested in optometry per say, as most of the money is made in glasses and they are a fashion item, which doesn't interest me at all. I am more about the eye healthcare side of things.
Has anyone else with a narrow skillset transitioned into another industry/ business opportunity? Would love to hear your story/ advice.
