> One thing they all emphasise is that success often comes from finding a problem that you yourself would pay money to solve. This is BS. Most businesses come from finding out what problems other people would pay to solve. Or finding a way to make a solution to a problem that people already pay to solve cheaper or easier. Asking yourself the question only works if you're lucky and have a common problem that many other potentially paying customers have. And if you're one of those people who doesn't like paying for things, odds are any problem you have is going to be one that disproportionately belongs to other people who don't like paying for things, and thus is not a good business opportunity.
