4 Steps to the Ephiphany by Steve Blank. Rip out each action page, tack it to your wall, and follow it verbatim for the specified length of time it recommends you spend on said action.

It's about systemizing the execution of customer development instead of theorizing over it, and the OP is clearly someone who has had enough with the pie-in-the-sky "do your passion" advice, and wants some help Getting Stuff Done. The rip-it-out-and-tack-it method will be less effective than proper use of the book, but more effective than spending 2 years thinking about it at a theoretical level.
