Hi Everyone,

Recently I’ve been feeling discouraged and somewhat depressed because I can’t find a business Idea to pursue.

I know MJ says to look for unmet needs and complaints, and to look for value skew opportunities.

Does anybody have any practical tips to find industries and how to find problems within them?
