Entrepreneurs shouldn't be building things for the sake of making money. If you're an entrepreneur, it's your job to solve real problems that people have. It's never about you. It's always about the people you're serving.
- wpietri 15y agoNo idea why you got downvoted; I think that's the most essential truth of entrepreneurship.
- lsc 15y agoSure, that's another way of looking at it. (I mean, obviously, nobody is going actually believe that a businessman doesn't care about money, but looking at your idea from the point of view of "what problem am I solving" I think, is a great thing to do, and many people respond better to the "change the world" rhetoric than "make lots of money" rhetoric, even though we all know that the speaker is saying the same thing.) "If I made something like service X, only cheaper, would that solve a real problem that people have?" which is the same question the OP is asking, really, just a different way of phrasing it.
