Spent my 20s in the slow lane, want to go to the fast lane, but don't have a business idea

[dreamvendor]

Hi, just started reading the MFL book, really enjoying it.
I wanted to start an online education business back in my early twenties but found it very stressful and hard to lift off as it relied on coding skills I didn't have. I spent the last 10 years climbing up the slow-lane ladder. I earned and saved a bit of money but it's not enough to buy a house or retire early at all. I used to have a really good business idea but then abandoned it and now it's been taken (which is a good thing really). Now I have a lot more experience, I'm a lot more mature.
My problem is that I don't have an idea. Not sure even where to start. My current plan is to work and build a business alongside it because I can do most of my job in under 4 hours a day. Will be spending a lot of time looking for good ideas, so will appreciate any pointers and advice.
Thank you @MJ DeMarco for the book and this forum!
Thanks all!
