How many problems do you experience in a day?

Think about it.

Cartons not opening correctly, receiving calls from unknown numbers, or… your precious plants dying.

Tiny, everyday annoyances that are actually a huge pain in the ass.

Did you know? The average person gets frustrated four times a day.

That's 1,460 times per year - or 87,600 in a lifetime!

But here’s the thing:

99% of people will see these frustrations as they are: problems - frustrating, annoying, and inconvenient.

1% will see these frustrations differently: they’ll see them as opportunities.

Now, let me ask you this:

When a problem comes up in your day -- what do you do?

Do you become curious and ask yourself more questions, like:

If you find yourself asking these questions, congratulations, you might be looking directly in the eye of a $10M opportunity.

Let me share with you a story about a guy named Marc.

This guy’s problem? His kitchen knife was as dull as a doorknob.

He couldn’t slice a tomato without juice bursting out the sides.

But… instead of buying a new knife, he did something different.

He asked himself those 3 questions..

The result? He builds a mail-in knife sharpening service that now makes $2.4M/year.

And that’s just one example.

Every single successful business starts with a problem!

For example:

Problem: Blank parking lots are illegal Solution: A couple makes $739K/year painting stripes.

Problem: Setting up solar at home saves $1,000s, but it’s a super complicated process Solution: A $24M/year business that gets it done in one day

Problem: It’s surprisingly difficult to find book series in chronological order. Solution: A $600K/year blog for bookworms.

Over the last 5 years, I’ve spent thousands of hours researching problems.

And I’ve put 99 of some of the most painful, in-demand problems in a database for you to check out. Some cool nuggets you’ll learn from this:

Once you start looking at problems this way, it might change everything about how you think about businesses.

And maybe, you’ll find some info in here that could be turned into millions.

Use this at your own peril :)
