You probably have heard this "If you wanna become millionaire, find problems, and create solutions to those problems"
But we need to be realistic here, this is "Easier said than done", if was easy to do, everyone would be reading this on their own private jet flying to Dubai.
So, is this a valid excuse? Well... No!
So it's time to KILL ALL YOUR MOTHERLOVING EXCUSES...
I remember when @NeoDialectic said:
The "shortcut" to start a successful business is find a common problem with no (easy or popular) solution... that's well known.
Find "what people hate" and design a solution to that problem.
"I hate doing my taxes" "I hate this fawking ridiculous customer service" "Why healthy food tastes like dogwater"
You named it, we live in an era of negativity and discomfort... that's pure gold for us, it's the perfect time to profit.
Excuse: "I don't know what people hate"
Excuse Killer: Go outside, complain in public about anything (and see how poeple will follow through) or talk to your friends about what they hate.
Excuse: "I have social anxiety" "I don't friends" "I live in a third world country"
Excuse Killer: Search "Trustpilot" or "Yelp" and read Reviews.
Oh boy/girl you gonna find a ton of mad people complaining and kicking up a storm, that's for sure.
Don't believe me? Look what I've found in a minute:
Okay, so now you may ask "How the fawk can I make a business reading angry people?"
Here's when we gonna start using ChatGPT.
Excuse: "BuT CoStA dUdE... XaTGtP iS BaNeD iN my cOunTrY"
Excuse Killer: Here you have 2 ways you can use ChatGPT
1: BAI Chat
Upside: You can use ChatGPT without creating an account and have different conversation tabs
Downside: You can't use GPT-4
2: Poe Chat (By Quora)
Upside: You can use GPT-4, you can use different chatbots and even create your own chatbot.
Downside: You need to create an account and you cannot have different conversation tabs.
---------------------------
Now let's begin shall we?
ChatGPT will give us a very detailed solid business Ideas from every "rant" and "pain point" we found on Trustpilot
Here's how it works:
Prompt:
Cool, you found your Big a$$ Idea. Now what?
We need to be sure that is actually a Good Idea and fits the CENTS Framework
I was about to create a Prompt but thankfully MJ "Saving 100$ per Month wont make you Rich" DeMarco made a very useful tool that let us know if our business idea suggested by ChatGPT is "Sugar honey iced tea" or "the next unicorn"
Here's the website:

Spoiler: You also can use Chatgpt for this, you'll find it below (just keep reading)
------------------------------
Amazing, now you have picked your next business idea...
Like the great acclaimed philosopher thinker, astronaut nobel, emmy, oscar prize winner Shia Labeouff said:
Really, just do it, try it, fail, try again, fail again, pivot, double down on what's working, and that's it!
Execution is getting your hands dirty, doing boring and stressful unpleasant things.
Here's some of the best must read threads about Execution:
Excuse: "I don't have money for employees, buy courses or mentorship"
Excuse Killer: You have a super asistant... use chatgpt like your employe, stop using AI for fun, use it like a Tool, like your slave, seriously this is F*cking LEVERAGE for FREE
Excuse #5: "But I need some contacts and and Networking"
Excuse Killer: You can use ChatGPT to write cold emails, it works better if you give the ai some context like this:
------------------------
Fine... you think I'm crazy. Let me show you how you can get MJ DeMarco as your Mentor without spending a penny or waiting months until he replies one of your questions.
Prompt:
Note: Sometimes it will need some Feedback from you, but feel free to change and improve this prompt.

Here you have some useful prompts, but remember you can mix them, merge them, change details, use them as inspiration to create your own prompts and make your life and projects better and easier.
Notion Links (Not mine):
Advanced Guide + Prompts
500 Prompts
Sometimes your prompts will fail, so you'll need patience and practice to get the AI work as exactly you want. But hey! that's better to spend time watching Netflix.

ChatGPT will give us a very detailed solid business Ideas from every "rant" and "pain point" we found on Trustpilot
Here's how it works:
Prompt:
-----------------------------Generate digital startup ideas based on the pain of the people. For example, when I say "[insert the pain/complain/problem here]", you generate a business plan for the digital startup complete with idea name, a short one liner, target user persona, user's pain points to solve, main value propositions, sales & marketing channels, revenue stream sources, cost structures, key activities, key resources, key partners, idea validation steps, estimated 1st year cost of operation, and potential business challenges to look for. Write the result in a markdown table.
Note: Sometimes will give you 1 or more ideas.
