I’m new to this sub and I’ve done some poking around. It seems that the unanimous advice in this sub for people looking to become an entrepreneur is ‘find a problem and sell the solution’.

I’m from a poor family and I’m just a simple working folk. I’ve been trying to think of a way to break free from that life most of my adult years but have never found a way to make it happen.

So my question is. Since I’ve been trying to find a problem to solve for most of my life and failing to do so. How can I make a shift to really find that problem I can solve? It seems most people in here have businesses. What problem did you solve and how did you figure out that problem to begin with?

    Is there something in your life that annoys you? People are lazy, if you have any solution that makes life easier, it would sell.

    My dog needs pumpkin in his meal everyday for his digestion issue. I was so tired of opening canned pumpkin, move into a container, put into the fridge, scooping it out, back to fridge, and wash the spoon, every single meal. So I created a freeze dried pumpkin for dog called Happy Olly, so no need to refrigerate, easy to use. It helps me with my life and many other people with similar problem.

      Hello, I have a question. I have seen that to find problems I have to start many hobbies. Do you think that would be a good idea?

        Yes. I specifically choose hobbies that are full of people with lots of disposable income. I have hundreds of profitable products.

      Don’t worry I’m not looking to get into the dog food market, not that you would care as you seem to have an already producing Greta product, but there have been so many industries I’ve thought about getting into but can never find what the requirements are or regulations. Like dog food as an example, what regulations are there with that? Is it just as simple as having a nutrients label on packaging? Could ask the same for dog treats or bones too…
