Starting with ideas is hard, because people immediately want to evaluate your idea. It's easier to start a problem, and think about your relationship with it. Is it a problem that you have? That your customers have? That exists in your community? Many of you in this group are consultants, coaches, and online experts - so you have deep experience in solving specific problems for people. When you have personal connection with the problem, it will see you through the challenge of finding a solution. So instead of keeping an 'ideas book', keep a 'problems book', and write down the problems you encounter on a daily basis.

I've been an engineer for about 10 years now, currently @ AWS. In a past season of my life, I've spent thousands of hours trying to build SaaS that never made money. This past year, I've started building an online community / mentoring early career coders. I see micro-SaaS playing a role here in time — I'm here to learn / absorb / etc :)
