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?

    I don’t have a great answer for this other than “what problems do you/your friends and family have?”

    But this might help. Look up various businesses and find out what problems those businesses solve.

    Don’t overthink this part, it’s literally the easiest part. This world we live in is plagued with not only problems, but also solutions that aren’t so great and could use competition (like how banks didn’t update their websites and app until they started getting killed by fintech apps that were so much better to use)
