Business Idea Generation - How did you do it?
Working on a new project that will help aspiring entrepreneurs come up with an idea for their first business/product, create MVP/prototype, launch it and make their first sale.
My first area to cover is idea generation, finding that killer idea.
Apart from the usual suspects, to solve your own problem etc, what methods did you use to come up with your current business idea?
Skim through new scientific research (http://sciencedaily.com)
Expiring patents (http://patentsexpiringtoday.com)
Automate popular Fiverr gigs.

I share more in my new book "Generating Product Ideas" 😊
You can use different techniques but one very simple way is to get a new idea that can inspire you (for SaaS apps) - every week (https://www.saasidea.io/saasideasweekly). ;-)

I had some recurring problems, and then validated those with other people. Sometimes I see a convergence in tech and consumer or business behavior that can be bridged with a new solution, and work at that, but that also means back-fitting a pain to the solution. For me, solutions born out of pains are the most fun to work on
Thanks Davey, 100% agree.
