Episode notes
Solve Problems, Not Seek Brilliance
- Entrepreneurship is about usefulness, not brilliance; solve real problems people face.
- Look for annoyances, inefficiencies, or frustrations as the starting point for ideas.
One-Week Problem-Spotting Exercise
- Spend a week writing down every problem you notice or hear about to discover opportunities.
- Then pick problems you would enjoy solving to increase your chances of following through.

- Start by solving small problems for small groups instead of aiming at huge markets first.
- Small, focused solutions are easier to launch and validate than sweeping industry changes.
