I am too confused to start and ChatGPT does not help.

I need advice about the path I should take to be an entrepreneur. I made research, asked ChatGPT, searched all Reddit and I am now just confused. Can someone give opinions?

I believe that I am a creative person. Since my childhood I always created some basic stuff like Etsy shops to game servers. However, none of them lasted for long, and now I am hungry to find something that I will work for years and create something meaningful. The thing is I don’t know what to get into.

Find your passion, people say. Well this is where I stuck. I do not have any specific passion, I just love to make something that attracts people.

In addition, I do not have any in-depth skill. I am familiar with coding, 3D modeling, Adobe tools, digital marketing. Not an expert tho.

How can find an idea and develop it through years under those circumstances? Where to start?

    There are many aspects.

    1. You will only be able to sustain efforts for a few months to 2-3 years, when you’re genuinely interested in that thing - be it a problem being solved by some tech or a startup, be it some research, or some creation like writing a book.

    2. That leads us to, how do you find what you’re genuinely interested in? It is by trying a lot of different things. Even if they seem not so interesting at first, give yourself a week or two to try one thing at a time.

    3. So then how do you try different stuff? 3.1 Pick any random course online that sounds at least somewhat interesting or similar to what you already know 3.2 Go out and participate in some workshop, or events 3.3 Connect to friends or random people on LinkedIn - and meet them in person to have conversations. This will help with better clarity (far better than ChatGPT or internet) 3.4 Buy books on various topics and force yourself to finish them.

    4. By doing all this, you will definitely find something that’s at least 10-20% or more interesting.

    5. That’s when you double down! Go deeper and deeper, enjoy the intricacies of that area. Let your curiosity run wild for a few months in that field.

    If the curiosity dies completely, start from 3 and repeat. Generally by 2nd or 3rd iteration, you will have gained a lot of deeper knowledge in two-three fields which will help you focus on your master piece or that problem you just have a sheer fire of solving. Good luck from there!!
