Comment on Ask HN: How can I find a "mission critical" company/consumer problem?

Comments

You may need to develop a better mental model internally for analyzing what is critical and what's not. I have no idea what your nationality is, but most Americans seem blinded by cultural Affluenza and seem to have enormous difficulty figuring out what is "mission critical". Vast numbers of people seem to have great difficulty distinguishing, for example, style from substance.

What actual problems do you personally have that you are failing to resolve? Figure out why you are failing to resolve them and you will have some insight into why you develop "cool" ideas but nothing "mission critical"/must-have. If you aren't failing to resolve them, then odds are good that you will eventually resolve this as well, in due time.

Peace and best of luck.
