The best way to find the best ideas is to travel.
Go to other countries, see what’s popular there and if it’s already in your home country.
9/10 it’s not and is a huge opportunity for a market
That rarely works. Just traveling somewhere and not knowing the language won't get you to see what works there. And many businesses don't work in other countries anyway.
In my opinion it does work. You just need to be open to multiple ideas and only choose the best ones.
For example I went to Thailand and saw the popularity of rolled ice-cream.
In my country that doesn’t exist at all. Rolled ice cream uses the same phycology as subway meaning there’s a huge opportunity in my home country to capitalise on it.
You just need to look harder and be open to things that may seem unconventional
