Where do you guys go for advice? #ask-ih

Hey guys - I'm at a bit of a fork in the road with my business - getting advice on forums is helpful, though I'm at the point where I'd benefit from some time with someone that has gone through a similar journey, and to get some guidance on how to move through that.

Incubators appear to be great for this, though for those of us in the 'startups for the rest of us' crowd (shoutout to @robwalling and @MikeTaber), with kids, mortgage and commitments etc (but happy to invest financially in good advice) where is the best way to seak a bit of guidance?

EDIT: A couple of helpful comments below pointing out that I should add a few more details. I'll try to be brief.

TLDR: I'm looking for assistance in trying to work out if I should try to grow my SAAS product with modest sales, or to work on something else instead.

I currently have a product that provides market intelligence about an industry here in the UK. To be clear, the platform helps my clients to understand who is successful in the industry, where they are successful, and the kind of clients their competitors are working with etc.

This industry is quite small, and we charge a lot, £2500 for an annual license per company. The market is also in short term decline, though this is likely to change over the coming months.

We have a small number of clients - enough to mean that my wife doesn't need to take up a part-time job, but not enough for it to meet my objectives of running a small, successful agency that builds, markets and runs SAAS applications.

We release some of our stuff for free, which is taken up eagerly, and gets us some free publicity - to the point where I'm certain almost everyone in the industry knows who we are. However, we haven't been able to convert this into success for the company. I think part of the reason for this is the profile of the market. There are roughly 500 potential clients. The top 5 are internationally known companies, that have teams of people providing what we provide. They don't need us. Then there are 20-30 companies that are relatively successful, though haven't yet built a team to do what we do. We've had one client build an analytics team, and they were able to build internal tools. We lost them as a customer. Then there are the smaller firms that don't have the resources or knowledge to be able to generate ROI from the insights.

I don't know whether to begin the process of finding something else to build, and I'm looking for some guidance on how best to proceed - I'm consulting right now, a few days a week - that side of the business is good.

For the first time in my career, I'm unsure of where to turn. To be quite frank, it's embarrassing not knowing what to do, and I'm struggling to make a key decision. I don't know whether to try to grow the business that we currently have, in a small and challenging market, or to look to other markets and other products to see what we can do.
