Tips for narrowing one's focus?

[Atown512]

So I have been keeping a journal with me for the past 8 months, and every time I come across a problem that hasn't been solved very well, I write it down. Inside this journal I've also been keeping a list of broad markets that have lots of potential for fastlane opportunities. Under each broad market, I am making lists of specific products or services that can add value or fill the needs of that market.

My original intent when starting the journal was to find a specific area to focus on. Unfortunately, I feel like I am now even farther from that goal. I am able to come up with a seemingly endless list of opportunities, and have no idea where to focus my attention.

I have no idea what my true "passion" in life is. However, I do know that I would LOVE to have the financial freedom to choose what I want to do and when I want to do it. Therefore, I am looking for the best opportunity that could yield that kind of freedom.

I am looking for tips or advice that could help narrow my focus. I've read a couple of good threads on the topic, but not much on specifically how to do it. Any tips, advice, or anecdotes (successful or unsuccessful) I think would be very helpful to a lot of us who are sort of "lost" in the search of where to start.
