Good ideas are overrated.
You don’t need a good idea/ problem to solve to be a successful entrepreneur. This might sound contradictory to the entire ethos of being an entrepreneur; hear me out on this one - the ability to execute is more important than the actual idea/ problem you’re solving for.
Ask yourself these questions before you go ‘shopping’ for the next big idea;
And here’s the ‘big one’ to my way of thinking;
It’s extremely difficult to ‘entrepreneur’ your way out of a life in shambles/full of drama. Not saying it can’t be done, however starting your own business is very difficult and if your personal life is nothing but drama 24/7 it’s going to be hard to be taken seriously as a founder.
I would say focus on getting yourself in a position you could actually pursue a startup in a credible way/ get your life in order and then worry about an idea.
Better to have the wherewithal/skills/abilities first and then work on the idea. It will save you so much time/heartache in the short term.
