It took me 4 years in the game to figure this one out. Here's a list of the problems I tried solving:
And the list goes on. Yes, these are all valid problems. But until you solve the #1 problem that's holding you back from scaling, they just serve as distractions.

For now, they are irrelevant. "So Boryan, what is the #1 problem?" The difference between who you think your customer is & what they want. Once you understand who you are serving better than they do themselves, things start to get fun.

You might also be struggling with some existential questions right now: What is my purpose? What am I truly passionate about? What am I meant to do in this life? What will bring me fulfillment?
