While I really like the attitude of it being easy to do, I have personally found that the difficulty lies in finding those actual business problems.

  Yes, that's the problem I'm facing. I've build some apps that I thought they were useful, but not a lot of people agreed with me.

  Find a dad, or some uncle, or some person that is 50+ and always whines about this one thing at his job that has always been done this one way that is really annoying. Make that go away. Business problems are easy. You live in a bubble of software awareness that most people don't have access to. Normal people are not aware of how easy to fix these things are. The other day I made hundreds of internet marketers drool over displaying a "(1)" in the title like Facebook does when you have new messages. Literally 2 lines of javascript and we all know how to do these things. I could easily sell a $20/month subscription to this and just pretend it was difficult. A major part of my girlfriends masters thesis right now is sifting through data - manually. We solved that problem by invoking the dark arts: " import pandas data = pandas.read() data.sort() " 4 months of work done in a single instant. What we do might as well be called magic. Normal people very much don't get how easy their problems are.
