1) Think of problems that people have.
2) Pick one that you can't relate to because you kick ass at it. For me, it might be public speaking/presenting. Or interviews. I'm good at both.
3) Help people with that problem. If you're good at teaching and had to acquire the skill yourself (it's harder to teach something you're just a natural at), then you can teach people. Or you could do it for them. For example, I could offer to do presentations for people for a fee.
4) Once you have a decent client list, you can outsource to other people who are also good at whatever it is. Congratulations, now you have a service business.
5) At this point, you could create a product related to this problem, e.g. an e-learning course for presentations. Or you could choose to create a product first.
6) Profit.
You're never going to know where to start. Pick a direction and go. If you don't, you're still picking a direction, it just happens to be the shittiest direction. Inaction is a choice too.
