I've always noticed that people say if you have an entrepreneural mindset you are constantly seeing problems to solve. Maybe you have an idea journal. Maybe you have a notepad with annoyances scribbled on them. But everyone has a running "list."

How did you finally decide it was time to move forward on the "one"? Did it just stand out among the rest? Or were you in the middle of the problem and the mood just struck you right to take action?

I'm not asking for ideas or even how to come up with ideas. I'm just curious how you picked from your list of 5-10+.
