Focus on a specific person / type of person and understand what paint points (frustrations or inefficiencies) they confront, and then solve that problem. Solve only that problem, for only that type of person; you can always go broader later, but early focus is crucial.

Absolutely this. I have worked with so many clients who couldn’t pin down an actual problem they solve — fixating instead on a service they simply believe would be desired based on nothing but their own ability to provide it.
biggest lesson i learned -
confidence =/= competence.
and its damn hard to spot without digging deep. yet its a pervasive problem.
the advice -
'ask the super specific HOW' - basically competent people can articulate - in detail the sequence of steps, the variables to considers, the risks involved and any strategy they propose.
Agree, learn how to ask goodquestion is a need skill. Most people will answer a good question
