You can try to think of the economy as is in its basic forms. Distribution, production, and consumption. Everything revolves around this… music, art, medicine, movies, clothing, everything. It’s all got production, distribution, and consumption in the process. So pick a niche for example, and analyze it logically. I recommend using pen and paper to outline your path and points.

You can build something to help solve or improve the process of DISTRIBUTION a product, or something to help PRODUCE a product, or something to help CONSUME that product.

Let’s say it’s a shovel. That’s a product, a “raw” material, you can later define how raw your products can be in your chosen industry (e.g. focus on the raw stone all the way to the molted shovel part). That’s relative. Either way let’s say it’s a shovel as is.

Who needs shovels? Shovels are needed by construction workers in construction sites (consumption), so you build a software to let’s say, help the workers better use the shovels by keeping track of their number of times it was used because they need the info for whatever reason.

Or, distribution. Let’s say shovel distributors/manufacturers/shops are having trouble finding a platform to sell their shovels on. So you go here, you can post your shovels here in this online database of ready to go shovel buyers. So you’ve achieved the distribution of a shovel.

Or production. Let’s say there’s trouble right now managing the production facility for the shovels, so here! I made a software to help you track materials use and schedule future batches of production.

The world is massive, just look around. Only thing is, don’t expect to just find “it” in a day by thinking… Same way you can think of imagining a book or movie, it comes to you while having breakfast. Same thing. You got your eye open, KEEP that mindset open with these basics in mind, you will spot something.

Once you pick an idea just keep going. Either it works or doesn’t and you move on. You’ll learn along the way good luck
