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?

    Take a product or service. Simplify access to it and offer for less than other sellers.

    If someone can just go on a website, select something, not pay as much as elsewhere and it arrives at their door, it’s an easy sale. All that is left is marketing.

    But if someone has to call your or coordinate how to order the product and when it will arrive, never going to happen unless you own the market for that item.

      Is this satire?
