People tend to overthink the process of building a new product.

And honestly? I used to do the same.

But lately, I’ve started shifting my mindset about this.

The World Isn’t Perfect — And That’s Your Opportunity!

Look around you. Seriously — take a moment. You’ll be amazed at how many inefficient, frustrating, and outright broken things exist.

And that’s why I love entrepreneurship.

Some people have turned it into something it was never meant to be — chasing VC funding, looking glamorous in the media, or inflating their egos with the “founder” title.

But at its core, entrepreneurship has always been about one thing: problem-solving.

Finding Your Next Product Idea

If you’re struggling to come up with a product idea, I want you to try this simple exercise:

1. Open your phone.

2. List all the apps you use regularly.

3. For each app, write down three things that frustrate you.

You’ll be surprised at how many areas for improvement you’ll find.
