Ideas for projects (hobbies) are often different than ideas for products (startup)

I look at the problems people face.

What I face, what others face, what customers face.

Then, I try to imagine how it should be. I get input from someone who deals with the problem every day if I don't think I know enough about the subtle details.

Now I have a chance to build something, how it should be. I try to solve it.
