Two things.

1) Well firstly you dont need to be passionate about something very specific. For example you can be passionate about making great websites that people love to use and thats it. Edison was passionate about inventing things (apparently also patenting them) for example.

2) I think brainstorming to think about what ideas you're passionate about is a great logical misstep( which I am also guilty of in the past). Rather, think about the things that people need and are willing to pay for and maybe ask yourself if you are really impassionate enough to not get into that market/business. (Ex: CRM Software is a booming market, yet I am too impassionate about that market to even consider getting into it.)
