Ideas often come at the intersection of problems you’ve lived through and technologies you’re comfortable using. Instead of hunting for novel ideas, ask yourself: What’s frustrating you or the people around you right now? A lot of successful solopreneurs didn’t try to build the ‘next big thing.’ They focused on niche, underserved problems that were within their skill set. Also, don't stress if there are competitors—execution beats originality. If you’re tired of AI-wrapping ideas, try exploring automation or niche SaaS tools that solve everyday business problems efficiently. The goal is to ship fast, validate fast, iterate even faster. You only need one niche that loves your solution. That’s enough to get you started.
