After my last business ran its cycle, I've been looking for a new business to start.
I don't know if I'm overthinking or if it's actually this hard to find a good business idea that fits CENTS. It's been about a month and I'm sorta paralyzed right now because every idea I come up with seems to have the potential of just being a waste of time and/or unprofitable. My last business kinda came to me by accident, so I've never really experienced consciously going out and finding the next business to start, and so far, I'm failing at doing so.
Some common tropes I've noticed is "just find a need". Alright, well there's a lot of needs in the world. Homeless people need food, but is that going to be a Fastlane NECST business given they can't pay? When I try narrow down to "just finding a need", it always seems like there's nothing really left in the immediate periphery that profitable and follows NECST.
For those who are now running a successful business, how long did it take to find your idea? What was the process and psychology behind it? How hard was it to find?
