Hi Chris and welcome.
20 is a great age to be striking out for the Fastlane. Congratulations.
Regarding your question many people find this the most frustrating part of the exercise while some of us have so many ideas we don't know which one to concentrate on (shiny object syndrome). Both can drive you crazy.
Ideas are everywhere but your brain won't see them until you 'unlock that feature'. Just like buying a certain car or a certain new clothing brand you are usually blissfully unaware of their existence, until you get interested. Then you see them everywhere. All of a sudden your brain adds it to a long list of interests and stops ignoring it (your brain ignores a lot that is feels is irrelevant).
So the more time you spend looking and thinking for needs and ways to fill those needs the more opportunities you will see. A lot of the time it is not magic, it is more an Aha! moment.
Did you know that YouTube started out as a dating site? Honestly, look it up.
Have a good read of some of the execution threads here and you will see that sometimes things go in many directions before they finally get a true bearing.
Look forward to your contribution to the forum.

- You might make a connection out of a string of random things.
- You might see something totally unconnected with a problem your brain has been puzzling over and make a leap in a new direction.
- You might have been working on one project then, from a potential failure see a pivot point. That Aha! moment, that makes everything crystal clear for what feels like the first time.
