You are half-way through a change. Your old motivations have lost their appeal. But you don't understand the new ones yet. You'll need to. My suspicion here is that you are experiencing some sort of crisis that has made your thinking pretty short term. That's mostly a good crisis response, as it helps us get through a problem alive. But it has issues.
The problem with "make money" is that it's mostly a short-term, proximate motivation. As others suggest, you need to figure out what you want the money for. Starting a business is a long-term proposition, so you'll need to find your deeper motivations.
And note that motivation isn't a static thing; it's a thing you nourish over time. So whatever business you pick, it should feed your motivations. E.g., I know somebody who has run a bookstore for 20+ years. He could do things that make more money, but he loves interacting with customers and talking about books on a daily basis.
One exercise you could do is to write your own obituary. Start by going to Legacy.com. Read a few of the famous-people ones on the front page. Next search for your first name and read a number of those. Leave the good ones open in tabs. Then open up a blank document and start typing yours. Refer back to others as needed, borrowing freely. What in others' obituaries resonates for you? What do you want your life to have been?
