I think if you're looking for an idea and constantly switching from one project to the next then you've got the wrong mindset. Take the time to solve a real problem for a group of people, and find an authentic way to reach them. Pick something that you personally care about, that you would work on for free (because you will be for a while).
My indicator for successful startups is:
1. They solved a real, significant problem for me (if it doesn't help me then it's not generic enough and then there's not a big enough market, though this does not apply to enterprise startups).
2. I use their product/service every day (or at least once a week)
3. What they built is cool
Does your work fit that criteria?
And if you're doing it to get rich, you'll have better luck joining an early stage startup that's clearly taking off. The first 100 employees at Google and Facebook made way more money than the median startup entrepreneur.
