What if you don't love your idea?

[Dillon Reyna]

My co-founder and I are looking to build an all-encompassing personal safety app.

Services like Panic button, lifeline, and kitestring all already exist.

While they are all good ideas, we feel like the customer would benefit more from one app that housed multiple features in a beautiful, well-organized manner.

My business mentors all think the Idee has potential, and we're soon to market test the idea on AdWords and Tumblr.

The problem is, I'm just not passionate about the idea itself.

So, Fastlaners, What do you do when you aren't in love with your idea? How do you open your eyes to problems in other markets?
