What's up everyone, glad to be a part of the fastlane community. I joined the fastlane to learn from the people who are ahead of me as I begin the entrepreneurial chapter of my life. My big goal right now is to start a business that gives me the time and location independence. I'm currently in the beginning stage of finding a problem I want to solve for someone. The obstacle I am facing right now is figuring out what problem a niche of people would want solved. It's probably as simple as just asking them, so I need to get over the fear of rejection and the feelings that I would be selfish by asking them so straight up without having a solution for them, then and there.

Is there a tactful way I can approach people so that they also feel like they got/will get value from opening up to me about a problem they will pay to solve?
