How to Apply This
- List down your passions and skills. Start by reflecting on your personal interests and passions. Think about what you enjoy doing in your free time, what topics you enjoy learning about, and what activities bring you the most fulfillment. This step is essential because it sets the foundation for finding a product or service that you're truly passionate about.
- Research and identify customer needs and pain points in the market. Conduct market research to identify customer needs and pain points. Look for gaps in the market where there is a need for a product or service that doesn't currently exist or where the existing options are not meeting customers' needs.
- Find the sweet spot where your passions intersect with customers' needs. Once you have identified your personal interests and customer needs, look for the convergence between the two. This sweet spot is where you can create a product or service that you're passionate about while also meeting the needs of your target customers.
- Develop a product or service that addresses customers' pain points and provides value. Use the insights from your market research and your passion for your product or service to develop a solution that addresses customers' pain points and provides value.
