Hi all,
I want to open a new business, and I want to focus on solving a certain problem. How do you brainstorm / come up with a problem to solve? How do you do your research to find problems that needs to be solved?
I am finding it hard to find problems naturally, how can I better this ability?
Thanks!
That’s easy.
Problems are everywhere. You just need a method to uncover them.
To uncover the problem go deeper into the sentence. At a deeper level we all have faced the same problems.
It is best demonstrated using an example. Here are 10 problems I uncovered from the first half of the first sentence of your post.
Level 1: I want to open a new business.
You can make many variations of this problem based on who is the customer.
Problem 1: How to open a new business if you are stuck in a job?
Problem 2: How to open a new business if you are single mom with no time for a job?
Problem 3: How to open a new business if you are an old couple who are bored after retirement?
Problem 4: How to open a new business if you are a freshmen?
Level 2: I want to open
Here you can make variations based on what to open, which will take the sentence to level 1. There you can make further variations based on who is opening.
Problem 5: How to open a pizza shop?
Problem 6: How to open up myself to make a presentation?
Problem 7: How to open my heart for to accept love?
Level 3: I want
Here you can make variations based on what are your key desires, which will take it to level 2. There you can make further variations by choosing the instrument of fulfilling these desires.
Problem 8: How to be happy?
Problem 9: How to be rich?
Problem 10: How to be healthy?
Level 4: It is hard too hard to explain this level in a comment.
