Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?
By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.
I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:

The best home business that you can be sure is not a scam is one that you start yourself. It will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting.

I started my business in January, I went with some thing that I could "specialize" in. Any time you specialize in one particular area you stand to make more money because there are fewer people that specialize allowing you to set a lot of your own prices. Also a lot of people will look to you because you specialize in that field.
