>I have heard that making a business is a good idea - if you can make one that lasts - most fail within their first few years.
It's something like 8 in 10, which if you consider how many people fail in trading and crypto - is EXTREMELY good odds.
Also, it's worth considering that the average person who starts a business probably doesn't spend enough time reading relevant material or doing research. The skills every business owner needs include sales/marketing, and there are priceless books on the subject available for $20. Yet a lot of people don't do it, or if they do, they don't execute.

With a business, you can work on it part-time in your off-hours and make considerable progress. In fact, many business owners suggest that you make at least enough profit on it to quit your job before you pull the plug. Or you can save up a year of living expenses and quit, if you can tolerate risk.

As far as ideas, it will differ from person-to-person. I would recommend starting off with what you're good at already - what you do in your day job.
Now, knowing your skillset, think about how you can offer value to others. Whether it be starting a company that does the same thing, or providing consultation, or finding a way to make the process of doing your work even more efficient.
A lot of people fuck up here because they think of "ideas" rather than trying to find "problems." If you think of ideas alone, you might invest time and energy into building something that no one wants. But if you think of problems to solve, you can guarantee that there will be demand.

One thing to note is that you don't necessarily HAVE to find an idea that hasn't been done before. It's enough to find something that differentiates you from your competition and advertise that point relentlessly.

A book that I'd start off with which gives a good overview is Unscripted by MJ DeMarco. I listened to that audiobook during my commute and it really helped get me off to a good start.
