Make a big list of the things you are great at and love doing, and then look for combinations that nobody else is combining. Bam. Super hero.

My super power? Expert level customer service with a deep technical understanding of my profession. Usually somebody is one or the other, but I happen to have both. It's a rare combination, and people who succeed at that combination (and market it properly) can do quite well. That's not to say I'm making FAANG wages (I'm not) or that I have a big savings (I don't) but I love what I do and I'm good at it, and I am able to make a great impact at the startup I work for. That's good enough for me.
