Ha ha no sorry worded it wrong just looking for a book or information on looking for signs frustrations and problems or situations to create a business idea.Not following everyone else in a business boom and just have more competition and sell shovels to those businesses instead.

Some threads that might be relevant:
  1. What are people NOT talking about anymore?
  2. Inside thread called “What’s the current gold rush?”.

If I wanted to find out what the gold rush for making money online is then I’d probably look at what’s selling in the Warrior Forum, and other shark infested pools like that.

I’m sure Tai Lopez is all over current gold rushes online... or maybe even creating them. Just visit his site and you’ll likely get targeted by everyone else trying to access his audience.

Maybe look at the popular products on Clickbank, and popular content being sold on PLR sites?

(Shudder.). Those aren’t the type of gold rushes I’d be interested in following.


It could be argued that businesses selling marketing services or leads to other businesses are all in the shovel selling business. I generate leads but don’t fulfil them (I’m not a plumber, tattoo artist, insurance broker, etc).

I got two book recommendations
1. The millionaire fastlane
2. Unscripted

Both are written by MJ DeMarco.

You can find them on Amazon
