Feedback on your business problems

8 replies
Hello! I want to start a service based business which would help businesses fix their problems/pain points. I dont know many entrepeuners myself so i tried googling and using ChatGBT to find common problems businesses face but all I got are some generic answers. If you could please tell me problems/pain points you face with your business it would mean a lot to me. Or if you could advice me how to find common problems businesses face would also be super helpful.

    Perhaps an obvious question, but....if you don't know what the problems are, how do you know you can fix them?

    What businesses have you run or been involved with? What problems/pain points did you encounter?

    If you don't have any first-hand experience to bring to bear, why do you think you can advise others professionally? At best, you'd just be providing generic or anecdotal advice.

    Do you have any qualifications or experience in a discipline that might be useful to businesses, such as accounting or real estate? What about any online skills like SEO or website building?

    Here's some friendly advice, and I don't mean to
    be harsh - start a business where you actually
    understand what you are doing.

    How are you going to help business people with
    their pain points and problems when you don't
    even have any experience in business yourself.

    That's like a broke person trying to tell you how
    you can make a million dollars.

    Google various businesses, find things that have
    a business plan, or something that you can read
    a book about, and get into something that you
    would be able to do in a professional way.

    Don't get into a consulting business where you
    are going to make a fool of yourself, when you
    can't answer people's questions or have an
    intelligent conversation without asking ChatGPT.

    I think you should engage in groups related to that particular service so that you can get feed back whilst getting a better understanding of what is and isn't needed.

    In other words, your business' pain point is not knowing what other business' pain points/problems are.

    So, you can start there. What would you advise this (your) business to do?

    Another thing to ask yourself would be, what types of businesses do you want to help? Different businesses have different problems. Just looking for generic pain points for all businesses would eliminate expertise value in your business idea. Do you have specific businesses you are looking to help and are you qualified to help them?
