I think game development is one of the toughest types of development (at least that I've ever experienced or tried). If you tend to spend the majority of your time (either in your regular role or even side projects) working on things that are typical business apps and website development, set yourself a challenge and develop a simple game.

Don't take on too much initially, something like a card game or a simple platformer with a single character, moving around the screen with wasd keys. You'll be surprised how tricky it can be and you'll push your skills as a result.
