It's funny to ask for advice from others who barely know your passions and capability, but it will give it a few random shots:

- follow your passion, not the money. when you work on your startup, do you truly enjoy at least some part of it, or just following the hype or hoping to become millionaires?

- are you well off where money is not an issue? if money is an issue, get a job; you can choose to work with well-off Malaysian startup like GrabTaxi.

- rather than keep thinking about money making startup, just work on small projects which you found interesting. e.g. https://levels.io/12-startups-12-months/

1) Admittedly, my earlier startups are kinda just following the hype hence the Groupon clone and what not. I have since stopped following the hype. However, that is also the reason why I was stuck in my room for 6 months keep trying to find "the right one".

2) Fortunately, money is not an issue. I am very privilege to be in this position. With that being said, I can't just sit down and do nothing. I need to find some source of income.

3) I was messing around with Arduino, 3D printers and Raspberry Pi while I as still working in my friend's startup. Ever since then, I felt like I needed to do something more "serious" to make some money as I am out of job at the moment.

- I don't think "stuck in my room for 6 months keep trying to find "the right one"" is a good idea. Please change your plan/approach.

- Since money is not an issue, we can cross out the need to get a job to make ends meet and start thinking about fun things to do.

- I believe Idea is not a light-bulb moment after meditation for 6 months in your room; it sort of require you try doing different things in order to bump into the light-bulb moment.

More random advices:

- Do u like Hardware or Software? Assuming you are into tech ideas.

- Unless you have partners and funding, the scope of your project need to be within your own capabilities in order to reach mediocre success in terms of user adoptions.

- You don't need the best idea, just good enuf idea which interest you. Why passion/interest in important? So that you will work on it even though there is no money and users for 6 months, and you use/like your own product.

- Discipline. Build/Ship something every month is an interesting idea.
