I'm trying to make the "shift" from consumer to producer. I understand what it means but I don't understand how to make it happen! In the book it says that making this shift allows you to see the opportunities for product creation. How can I break out of the consumer mentality and start to "see" the opportunities as a producer?

I appreciate your responses
