This is crazy. I've spent years testing different businesses, learning everything about business, copywriting, sales, marketing etc. and have never found an idea with enough demand.
I've been able to help several friends succeed. For example, for one of them I redid the sales and marketing process and boom, it went from $500 to $30,000 in sales in 1 month. For another, got $1000s of dollars in sales in days and landed a huge licensing deal.
Everytime I look at a business, I see 10 things you could do to increase sales and profits.
And when I go back to myself, my problem is that I can't find an idea with enough demand. Or maybe I'm not trusting myself enough that it will work so I don't go for it.
I'm telling myself I don't have enough money to start a business, so that I should take a job. But it feels like an excuse.
What should I do? I have the time, the knowledge/experience, network, some money, and everything but a proven idea to create a successful business. Why can I not create success for myself, but for others when it seems that I have everything you need?
