I am stuck in a loop:

  1. Trying to find problems
  2. Thinking i’ve found one to solve
  3. Coming up with a cool way to solve it / look at what competitors doing
  4. Have doubts that it isn’t something i’m passionate about and that i’m just copying
  5. Move onto next problem

What can i do to make real progress, i’m taking one step forward then one step back!!

    You are missing one of (if not it the) most important step. After discovering a problem to solve, and quickly surveying the market for existing solutions and competition, you gotta dive head first into Customer Discovery. If you’re not familiar with this, study and practice stuff from Steve Blank, Rob Fitzpatrick, and Justin Wilcox. Learn about the customer development process, focusing on doing discovery work with early adopters. This is the first step to executing well.
