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 issue was always finding what I was good at or finding something to solve. It wasn’t until later that I realized I had it wrong.

    I don’t need to solve anything. I need to step into something that people WANT or NEED. Identify this, and then focus on getting really good at it. You’ll become an expert and be able to get more customers.

    It’s not that easy. It takes discipline over motivation, but if you’re hungry for it, you’ll get it.
