If you don't have any great ideas, I'm looking for partners...I have way too many ideas than I cold realize in a lifetime.

I'd suggest not to read too much...start building! Get stuff out there. Be careful in terms of what idea to work on...ideally something you're passionate about and that can generate revenues fast and that you can build on your own. You should be able to come up with say 100 ideas, maybe 10 of which are promising. I'd also strongly suggest looking for a business partner (congrats sounds like you have a great life partner :-D ). Also get mentors. I think having a mentor+partner is far better than reading even 100 books about building a business. Btw, the NSF SBIR deadlines are in 2 weeks, you could apply for R&D funding from them if you have an idea you're somewhat confident in.

No reason not to start building your SaaS service now btw...see if it gets somewhere before you take the time off.

Also, focus on living...sports, meditation, doing stuff inherently enjoyable for you...
