Solve your very own problems.
Maybe you miss some opportunities but I've the highest motivation if I solve a personal problems since I am not thinking about how big is the market, how to target which demographics. No, I just want to build a nice product for myself and I am happy even if it's just me who will use it.
Usually, these products get perfect and extremely well designed because you are the user yourself and care about every detail and at the same time you deploy and use a MVP very early since you don't care about anyone looking at your product. Worked for me and market is success is usually one step away. I couldn't work one second for a product where I won't be the user, I did it few times and it's awful.
It could also be a psychological phenomena since when you do something just for yourself you don't put too much pressure on yourself and the product, you don't force success like becoming the market leader or getting venture capital -- you are relaxed and in the zone which are the best premises to build an awesome product (compare to 'The Inner Game of Tennis').
