Why is it that new ideas don't exist?
Let me elaborate on that.
I find myself spending all my time generating ideas for different businesses and products. but then it feels like I'm an action faker. Cause every last one of those Ideas that I look into, end up having been already made after a little bit of market research.
A perfect example was when I was showering the other day and I turned it way up to get the shower steamy and to enjoy it a little bit. I thought wouldn't it be cool if there was some way to put a unit into the shower that would turn it into a sauna? Took me one google search to find steam showers, and two to find out that showers need to be highly specialized and steam resistant in order to serve the purpose anyway. so no making something that could do it to every shower, because it's very likely that few people even have showers that fit the steam proofing requirements, to begin with.
I was thinking that I could create a cheaper solution, but so much of the cost is in customizing the shower that basically no one could install it into their normal home showers in the first place.
Obviously that's not my first run-in with this issue, but it's the most recent, and honestly, feels like I am incapable of making ideas that would be new enough to catch anybody's attention.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm not about to stop looking for opportunities, but I guess this is just a bit demoralizing helps me respect the grind a lot more.
