| I like the suggestion. But learning about other peoples problems is hard. How do they even know it’s a problem if they have no idea that it can be solved, i.e. that life without that problem is even thinkable? It’s a bit like Ford’s saying that, if you had asked customers what they want, they’d said they want a faster horse. In an ideal world, i would love to walk you to random people in the street, invite them to have a coffee with me, and let them tell me about their life and their work. And i am sure that, eventually, in pretty much all of those conversations, I’d find something I can help them with. Do you see a better way? If I dropped you off in some city, and you’d have to find ten high value business ideas merely from talking to strangers about their real world needs, how would you do it? Or, if anyone here has done it in actuality, how did you do it? Thanks. |
