Hi,
The best advice I can offer you may be different from the advice you may have heard from others on this forum. My advice would be as follows:
1. Focus on what you're passionate about - what you love.
2. Ideas are worthless, it's all about team and execution. Folks will tell you "do not share your idea" - in fact you should do the opposite. Here's an exercise; find an idea that you like out there (that is not yours) and work your hardest to try and find someone / some company to steal it. Take a great idea and send it to 1,000 folks then wait to see who steals it, it just does not happen. Thus I would encourage you to talk to as many people as possible about your idea, because executing your idea ultimately boils down to having a team.
3. Build. Measure. Learn. Be lean in starting up. No need to spend money on big budgets and fancy marketing campaigns. Launch with the intent of finding out something you do not know, which you should know. For example, Pay Pal began as a company who's mission was to have people exchange money on palm pilots. However, as they continued to build, they measured the effectiveness of that business model, and learned from it to create a viable product. Your goal should be to ship a minimum viable prodcut at first. Example; see the very very very very first version of Facebook - the current product is leaps beyond, however they were able to ship a minimum viable product, and use data to build on features and services.
I hope this helps!
