So I read through The Millionaire Fastlane like monks read through the holy book, and I'm lost on something.

I've tried looking at the world around me, I've tried looking specifically into my fields of interest (language, coffee, books) and I can't find a problem that needs solving (or one that I can readily solve.)

I'm trying to combine the processes in MFL with those in "The Lean Startup" and "The 4-Hour Workweek", meaning that I understand the necessity behind passivity and iteration (for the sake of capital preservation, I'm poor.)

The only thing I can think of is to start a blog that records my language-learning journey with Turkish, but what problem does that solve?

Any idea on how to cure this...entrepreneur's block?
