I just thought about something, as I was browsing the forum.
As people dive into the world of entrepreneurship, they tend to isolate themselves. They find books on business and entrepreneurship and start reading for hours. Then they brainstorm ideas and then read some more. Then research on those ideas and kill them, just to start all over again.
There's a problem here.
I believe you have to go out in the real world and live life. You have to do stuff. You have to listen to people's problems and find out, how you can help them get what they want.
@MJ DeMarco didn't just start a limousine business. He worked long hours as a limo driver and listened to the customer's pains and build a site, that could help them.
I bet @biophase didn't start eCommerce stores based on random ideas out of nowhere. He had an active lifestyle and found a gap in the market, that he could fill. That's just one example out of many stores.
@zend***phin (not a call for discussion about recent business activities) didn't just sit in his room and come up with multi-million dollar business ideas. He went out there, from when he was 19-years-old and talked to hundreds if not thousands of business owners and learned from them.
@Eskil probably tried to record a video with his iPhone on a vacation or something and realised it was damn hard to avoid shaking or jittering in the picture. So he built the StaybleCam.
@Likwid24, as we all know, experienced the problem first-hand of keeping a paintbrush from drying up and breaking, so he and the guys came up with a way to fix it.
And I bet @JackEdwards once went to the mechanic with his Bentley and found out, that the businesses selling auto-parts B2B did a bad job. So he built a business and outperformed them.
The list goes on and on.
Point is, don't just read and brainstorm all day at home.
Get up, get out and do something. Talk to people. Listen to them.
When you start doing this, good ideas will come to you.
That's my 2 cents.
