Good Evening,

I have been a self-employed contractor in the IT industry and work with several big clients. I specialize in IT infrastructure design and migration. I make enough money for a comfortable living.

I have been doing this since i was 18 and i am 25 now.

For a very long time i have wanted to start my own business/brand and make that generate enough money for me to not work anymore and just run a business which would eventually make me very rich.

I have been on thee forums for a while and read a fair amount. It seems everyone has ideas and is doing something with them my problem is coming up with a good idea that i could use to make money. I find this part very hard.

Can anyone help me with ways i could come up with ideas i have read books and listened to podcasts and whilst the advice is sound they advise you to find a gap in the market that you can fill etc its not that easy????

Also coming up with good brand/website names is very difficult i have tried many times and just suck at this.

Was hoping you guys with your wisdom could advise and help me further.

This is my first post on the forum so please be nice ;)
