Ask HN: How to develop an entrepreneurial insight?

10 pointsby LeicesterCityabout 9 years ago
An entrepreneur comes across a problem and develops a solution to the problem, but how does one initially find the problem? Are there certain skills one can develop that enhances problem-finding abilities?<p>Any books recommended?

Although I don&#x27;t have specific books in my mind, but such problem finding skills come from asking questions, always starting &quot;what if ?&quot;, questions about making our life easier, people&#x27;s life easier, company&#x27;s work easier, just look and ask questions, also the best kind of ideas you come with, are the ideas that come from your own problems when you are the main user of that product, as you will keep always developing it.

Think in systems. Observe and measure everything you find interest in. Journal daily. Then find inconsistencies between the various elements and think how can you optimize them.

Be observant, think critically.

Where to look for - Problems from your own life that you couldn&#x27;t solve or suffered solving with existing solutions.<p>Books - Would suggest reading biographies.

A potential vector is work experience in a specific industry. With enough exposure you build a flair for &quot;undiscovered&quot; pain points.

The one big thing that was told to me: &quot;Do something that scratches your own itch.&quot;
