How do I find problems to solve? (alien.top)

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!

I think it is a wrong question to ask. You should not be brainstorming to come up with a problem to solve. Because you will have no idea if this problem is valuable enough.

A better approach would be to find a customer you would like to serve and just figure out ways of having meaningful conversations with them. Then find out what type of conversations your customers find valuable. And us it as a hints about the valuable unsolved problems in your customers life.
