Do a careful audit of what people would need in the area where you live, ask friends & have them ask friends etc. Is there something people would need or want that isn't on every corner? In order to succeed you need a niche not filled already. Like in my town we really needed an outdoor cafe where people could just congregate and eat and be leisurely--there just wasn't one around. But no capital to start one. So something like that--what is something you could provide that some one can't, or provide in a better setting, or cheaper etc.

I was in the same boat as you about 10 years ago. I did a lot of introspection and work to figure out what it is I enjoy doing that I can turn into a business or use the skills in a business.
I found something that fit the bill -- exactly -- about a year after I did the exercises. You'll find information on the process I used at

Do business in ready made garments, winter clothes, summer clothes; rainy season material. Profitable and fast selling items. Small space is required for storage.

Finding something you like to sell is tough - finding something that sells well is even tougher.
I tried something I liked but didnt make very much money.
I started selling something that everyone has to have that can offset the costs of the other things I like to do!

You face exactly the same problem as me.. I have all the knowledge, all the capital, etc to start a business but I don't have a good enough idea.

Have you thought about direct selling? There are lots of direct sales compainies and it reduces overhead. I do direct selling for Cookie Lee Jewelry and we make a 50% gross profit. www.emmalee.biz
