I'm new to this sub and I've done some poking around. It seems that the unanimous advice in this sub for people looking to become an entrepreneur is 'find a problem and sell the solution'.

I'm from a poor family and I'm just a simple working folk. I've been trying to think of a way to break free from that life most of my adult years but have never found a way to make it happen.

So my question is. Since I've been trying to find a problem to solve for most of my life and failing to do so. How can I make a shift to really find that problem I can solve? It seems most people in here have businesses. What problem did you solve and how did you figure out that problem to begin with?

Don't try to find some new thing. Find a successful product or service in a lucrative niche that you can do the same or better.

Only if the segment is not saturated. Good luck finding a niche.

High barrier to entry niches especially in the B2B world are starving for competition. Everybody for some reasons thinks low barrier to entry consumer market ideas when they think entrepreneurship. The real money is elsewhere.

Over simplified and easier said than done. More people would be doing what's easy, that's just the way it is. There's very little out there that's assumed hard but it easier than thought, waiting to be filled.
