I've always wanted to start my own company. It seems as though the prevailing wisdom is to create a product that 'scratches your own itch'. My problem is that I have no itches.<p>My life has always been incredibly privileged. I've grown up in a well-off family, lived overseas and gone to private schools. I graduated high school and went to one of the best universities in the country to study CS. I graduated 18 months ago and got a great graduate job working with friends in a well-funded startup and making good money. I'm incredibly grateful for how easy and comfortable my life has been.<p>The problem is that, as far as I can tell, all of my problems are already solved. How can I move past this and grow as a person? How can I identify real problems in the lives of others and work on things that I feel truly matter?
If your problem is truly that you have no problems (rather than an inability to identify opportunities): open a restaurant, buy an old home, or do something to help others.
