Hi,
So, this entrepreneur thing is all new to me. I have no clue about anything really. But, today I took some action. I decided to head to the beach to relax and think. I thought about a lot of what MJ has said in his books about not chasing money, but chasing people's needs instead. Be a problem solver. And WHY do you want to do this. Anyway, after I wrote some of my own ideas down I decided to approach people walking with a notepad and pencil in hand. I simply asked people if I could ask them a quick question and it would only take a few seconds to answer. Basically, I asked people what is a product/good/service that if created, would make their lives easier/happier. Great way to get research. I plan to do this more. And the bonus? I am regularly a shy guy who typically blocks others out of his world. Now, I am opening myself up. I am paying attention to people. Realizing that I connect with them because we all have needs, desires, and wants. Sometimes just observing people I would get ideas. There are ideas all over the place. My mind is constantly thinking now about how I could solve something or make something easier for people. Try doing some "research" on foot if you have no ideas.
