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?

    Start talking with people. Choose something that you have skills, knowledge or experience with. People love to talk about there problems. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, visit local business, etc. During the first few meeting you will just be developing your questions.

    As you conduct more customer interviews, you will gain a better understanding of the problems experienced. Once you have more than a few people talking about the same problem, this can be the opportunity you are looking for. Then the hard work starts!
