Pain Pills

Solve a real problem.

Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian speaks to this—so many entrepreneurs get it wrong.

They try to force themselves into a market to make money instead of offering a solution to that market’s problem.

I’ve been caught up in this myself. For nearly a year I tried to build a marketing agency, with no skills, trying to get rich.

As you probably guessed, it didn’t work out.

Only later did I realize the importance of building a business around a real problem with a solution to it.

Yes the problem was there but my solution was not.

People will do anything to avoid pain. Your business should be their Advil.

Become a pain reliever not a money taker.
