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?
My uncle, a successful entrepreneur, shared a crucial piece of advice with me during my junior high years. When I inquired about the key to success, he simply emphasized the importance of observation.
At the time, I didn’t quite grasp its significance. It wasn’t until I began working that I truly understood. Being observant means to closely watch and understand life and work, to identify issues within them and attempt to solve them.
While it’s hard to pinpoint specific methods for problem identification, most of the issues I’ve discovered are based on personal experiences in life and work.
