I´ve been a lurker on this forum for a while, so I figured that I would challenge myself and create a progress thread. I challenge myself to update this thread every day for 30 days.

So I will just quickly introduce myself and my goals. I'm 21 years old from Norway. Currently, I'm going to college, I'm studying innovation and entrepreneurship. I have 1 and 1/2 years left to finish my degree.

Last year I dabbled in affiliate marketing, but after reading the MF, I realized that I wanted to start my own business instead. I realized that I lacked control by doing AM.

I only goal this year is to start a business which makes xxx amount of $.

The problem I have been facing is that I can't figure out what problem I want to solve. The last couple of days I have spent a ton of time researching(On Reddit, on forums). I have been trying to find out what problems people have, I want to help fix a need.

Do any of you guys have any advice on how to move forward?

Anyways I'll keep you guys updated.
