Hi,

I'm 17 and I am new to this forum after I just finished reading TMF and Unscripted . I struggle to think of business ideas and it's not because of the full or empty room bias (since I never get to check if my idea has competitors as I can't think of an idea in the first place) or because I think that the ideas are too hard to carry out so automatically dismiss them. I can't think of any viable ideas that aren't based on fads but on true market needs. None of my friends or family really complain which makes it hard to find needs. Does anyone have any tips on generating ideas based on needs? or a more suitable question would be how can I find out market needs?
