Find a Problem Worth Solving

Every great startup begins with a problem. Ask yourself:

  • What's something frustrating that people deal with daily?
  • Is there a service or product that could be faster, cheaper, or better?
  • Do you have a unique skill that can help others?

The best startups solve real problems. If you're unsure, talk to potential users, observe industries that interest you, and find something that matters.

Validate Your Idea

Before building anything, test your idea. Here's how:

  • ✅ Talk to potential customers – Would they pay for this?
  • ✅ Look at competitors – How are others solving this problem?
  • ✅ Create a simple landing page – See if people sign up before you even build.

If no one is interested, pivot or refine. It's better to tweak early than to waste months on something no one wants.

If you're serious, make it real:

  • ✅ Register your business – Start as an LLC or sole proprietorship.
