🚨 The Ideation Flywheel is the greatest thing ever‼️

The importance of focusing on problems rather than solutions when deciding which startup ideas to pursue is very important.

I kinda agree with this sentiment, and I feel that an equally valid approach is to start building something one thinks should exist in the world, rather than trying to fix a specific problem.

However, some successful companies, like Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, started by addressing a very specific problem. The importance of considering business models and the persistence required for following through on one’s ideas is underrated.

There is also constant debate about whether focusing exclusively on solving problems was necessary or if looking for opportunities to improve or innovate was equally important.
