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?

    A good lens to explore the principle of

    1. Save someone time doing something ( time = money)
    2. Make someone money ( give them a tool or process in making money)
    3. Improve status ( make them look good to their peers or a social ladder) this isn’t the easiest of the three.

    Hack, test the sentiment on Twitter or forums
    / search for anyone who said the following words “I hate” - it when…or ‘I wish’ I could and you will find a friction so deep people are willing to tell the world about their pains x then focusing on finding a deep enough pain that has a big market size and are willing to part $ with to get a solution.

      The most simple and insightful answer, I found in the whole comment section of this post.

      I’m going to swipe the three principles.

      And sentiment thing.
