I was inspired by a method of entrepreneurship recently where by you ask questions to people in a targeted niche to help identify a pain point or need they have that could make their jobs or life easier.


My aim will be to try and find software solutions to problems a niche has.


I want to track my progress through a video blog on Skype with interviews of the people that are willing to talk with me so that when I'm successful I can share how I did it with everyone else every step of the way.


I had my girlfriend attempt a video here as an example, it's an interview with a real estate agent: Interview with a real-estate agent. - YouTube


She also did an interview with a guy who is a crew-member for TV shows & Movies to identify a need there. (Finding needs with a grip person in television - YouTube)


Any suggestions to improve it are welcome, I'll be doing the videos myself next.


I was curious who would be interested in following me as I do this? I'll just create a simple Wordpress blog and upload my videos to youtube for now. Also curious if anyone wants to do this with me together?


Also if anyone would like to be the first interviewee's let me know, I am an expert programmer myself and if I see enough interest from others in your same niche I can probably make a software tool to help your issues.


You got nothing to lose and a friend + connection to make. I know lots of people.


Let me know guys if you like my idea! PM/Comment, contact me :).

My website blog for now is findingneeds.com. I'd love to know what I can do to make the videos better and more valuable.

I'm imagining a service where entrepreneurs can pay monthly to get into the system view the videos and contact the owners in the videos to solve the problem. This takes care of the pain point 'fear of rejection' when talking to new people, because I can personally introduce you to them. This can be setup in a passive way as well.

Did you actually go through Dane Maxwells program? What were your thoughts if so

I did not go through the program, I would want to though. Right now I'm just guessing the right way to do it from the videos I've seen and interviews with Sam Ovens.

Did you hear the call Dane recorded of him finding the needs of the pool company?

I think this could be a really great idea! I believe there is a lot of validity in Dane's process of discovering need rather than creating a software solution you "think" will work. I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
