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?
This strategy is good but often can be rather hard and expensive because of the mentioned high barrier to entry? You need to be very good at attracting funds, talking to partners and investors and things like that, I guess?
I think it’s easiest to work in an industry and niche you’re interested in, get paid to learn everything about it, then branch out on your own within that niche. The barrier to entry is the domain knowledge, not startup funds necessarily.
