Lessons From Thomas Edison
As said by the New Yorker, “Edison did not look for problems in need of solutions; he looked for solutions in need of modification.” If you’re trying to build an offer or product and have no idea what to do, it’s OK. This is the same boat that 99% of people are in. The beauty of business in capitalism is exactly what the quote says. Stop trying to change the world, that time will come. If you were just starting a business, find solutions that exist, but need to be improved. People use those solutions, means they’re already solving a problem that is proven to be common among many people. But it doesn’t mean that the solution is exactly what people want. So TLDR; 1. find a solution that people are already paying for 2. Identify gaps in the solution by looking through comments, forums, and feedback. 3. Take everything good about the solution and add that one feature that fills in one gap. 4. And talk about how you’re way better than everyone else out there because of that gap you filled. 5. Break the matrix.
