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?

    It’s not unanimous advice. And it’s only one way to achieve success. The vast majority of successful entrepreneurs DO NOT FIND A PROBLEM etc. Instead, they simply become another market participant in an already thriving market. They become a plumber (already thousands of those), or they open a dropship store, amongst thousand’s already existing, just to name a few examples among many.

    You don’t have to think up something new or unique.
