Don't try to make money, don't look for success. The idea start with you finding a problem in society. Not you trying to outsource something, or open a restaurant. These things have been done. The way to making it in the 21st century, is by finding the problems people face day to day in life, and making it easier for people. Of course, technology leads this demographic. But think of legit anything, now think of how that "thing" is affecting the environment.. is it affecting it negatively? how can you fix that and create positive gains? what will this cost? is the technology out there? Keep asking yourself these questions. Ideas don't spawn off of pure spontaneous thought, ideas spawn off of years and years of meticulous thinking. You can't have an idea without immersing yourself in knowledge.

Well to bad than, you should instead be wanting to create a business that helps people. Not directly, but indirectly. You can make money, and get success and all that shit. But i'll tell you this, if your #1 priority before even THINKING of opening a business is to make money...my friend your in a world of heartache. You need to realize the key to success, is to help others succeed. If you can take a problem, and fix that problem through a business.. you are doing the world a justice, and yourself a justice.

EXACTLY.. you can't THINK of money, you need to have that fulfillment factor, and that only comes with a vision. The key to success in 21st century, and how you'll get people to invest in you without even thinking twice, is if your business helps other people. What people want, is not another burger stand, not another quirky tool, THEY WANT SOMETHING THAT FIXES REAL PROBLEMS. Fixing issues that have placated society for YEARS, taking those problems, and nullifying them. If you can find how to make something easier, while also being environmentally friendly... you are winning.

I reread, and understand what you're saying but still.
selling a product is fulfilling a service.
didn't know making the world a better place was required to build a business.
you sound like you're on drugs or something.

it's not, but it is required if you want a business with meaning and vision. Helping others live a more sustainable life is probably the best gift you can give to humanity.

What if they made a business that had cars that could come pick you up and drive you places? They could make an app for it

You have to find a want/need in customers and a way to satisfy their need and make profit

sure, but not everybody, even if they have the idea, have the means or resources to build such a company you're talking about.
but that doesn't mean they shouldn't build a business if they want to.

why are you discouraging others from building a business that could ultimately benefit them, their family, and their community? you act like building a business only benefits the creator of it.

the meaning and vision is what you make of it, you could start a small business, and through that get the means and resources to build this grand idea you're talking about.
see: elon musk.

everybody wants to build that life changing invention, but it's very rare that it would actually happen. but that shouldn't mean they shouldn't try at all. and it doesn't mean that successful businesses aren't beneficial to others.
oh, and I've seen some of your posts on economics in another thread, you're probably the last person I would want to take business advice from tbh.

well if the grand idea is the surmount of the first idea than your doing good still. Im not discouraging anyone from creating a business. Im just saying that, you need the right intentions to run a business, or else you may fall flat from short sightedness or ignorance. I also feel that the only way you can get true joy from creating a business, is if you help others through it. I feel like once your family, and extended family are dead, the people who should benefit, are the ones who helped you build it, and those who have supported it.
