how i was looking for startup ideas wrong
Hello everyone, I recently came to a major conclusion regarding coming up with ideas for startups. A common philosophy taught is to look for problems in your life and then try to solve them. (Bonus points if you experience the exact problem) What I have come to realize is that most of the good problems aren't going to have anything to do with the business/startup niche. Of course there will be some problems in this niche, but I would dare to say that many of the problems of the startup niche have been solved in some ways (although there is always room to make the solutions better). This is because out of all of the niches in the world, the startup/business niche has the most problem solvers, so it would make sense that the first place all these problem solvers look to for problems is the startup/business niche. I mean just look at all the useless tools for founders/business owners because people don't think to look elsewhere. What am I getting at with all this? I think that you are likely to find the most problems in the areas you spend the most time in, whether this be a specific video game, your work, a small online community for keyboard lovers. I've fallen into the trap of spending a lot of time in the startup/business niche, so inherently most of my ideas have come from there, but I've realized that the startup niche is not the best place to look for the hidden gems aka really irritating problems. I encourage you, reader, when trying to find business ideas, to follow your genuine curiosity into areas that HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS. The corners of the internet is where most of the unsolved problems are. Thank you for your time. I would love to hear you're thoughts, and what I got completely wrong ;)2
