Hi all,

I want to open a new business, and I want to focus on solving a certain problem. How do you brainstorm / come up with a problem to solve? How do you do your research to find problems that needs to be solved?

I am finding it hard to find problems naturally, how can I better this ability?

Thanks!

Start in an industry or niche you have experience and some expertise in. Who are the suppliers? What kind of products and services does your company use? Are any of them of poor quality or design? Do you have problems with particular service providers? Then research those companies to see how well they're doing. If they're making good money providing a poor product or service, it's ripe for competition.
