I've read TMFL and Unscripted , understand the CENTS principle,
and I know that people pay me for the value I'm providing.
So here's my current problem:
Myself:
Im still trying to figure things out.. Im working at a job I don't like but saving every € I earn. I have about 10.000 saved to invest in some kind of business (stock, marketing, etc.) Im passionate about self improvement and want to improve my financial situation as well.
The Problems:
I want to build a business. I want to make money. (obviously). A friend of mine is also interested in that. Im thinking value over money but he's more into "find something that people are already buying a lot and just find it on alibaba, and sell it online". As an example I found a massage roll on amazon. Sold on Amazon.com for 39,99 and on alibaba for 2,50. His idea would be to just get it from Alibaba.com and then build a brand around, do some marketing and sell it as a high class item on a Shopify site.
-> I don't see any value we'd be providing with just copying or adding other attributes like different colors..
I think its all about solving Problems. On the other hand every problem I found within the last week was either already solved perfectly or just not really solvable. I searched for every "I hate" "Why is this.." and "I struggle with" phrase I could come up with on twitter. I even searched on niche specific forums, like parenting forums, and found people complaining about their partners snoring too loud, (solved) or children eating small parts of toys and the danger behind it.
I feel stuck. I got the energy and I spent every day on this stuff but I feel stuck. Everyday I type in the same sentence of "how to come up with problems to solve, how to find needs". At least I think im not chasing money but I actually want to make someones live better, and not just hop on some trend to earn some good money. I want to build a brand that stands for something. A brand that people trust in. A brand that im proud of.
How do I get myself unstuck?
Much respect to all of you out there giving your best everyday! You're making the world a better place to live on.
thanks
