Why it worked

The video provides a clear, actionable framework for identifying business opportunities by focusing on genuine pain points. The creator's direct and relatable approach, combined with a strong call to action for accountability, likely resonated with viewers seeking to build their own ventures.

Summary

The creator explains how to identify pain points that people are willing to pay to solve. The strategy involves observing people's complaints online and in person, and then asking two key questions: what do you procrastinate on, and what infuriates you. The goal is to find truly painful problems, not mild inconveniences, that people are desperate to resolve.

Before you get called, start building for you. You need to find real pain that you can and here's how in one week. You don't need to be a genius to figure this out. You just need to be a fucking good observer. So you're gonna take this next week and you're just gonna observe people around you, the internet, and see what are complaining about. You're gonna be a real good listener. And this is what a lot of people get wrong. They try to, like, have a thesis and hypothesize, then push, like, oh, you must be feeling this way because of X, Y, Z. No. You're gonna ask them, like, why do you really deeply understand you can. It and empathize in your own body. I would actually go into TikTok or Reddit and look at these work rant, so frustrated, so annoyed. I hate when, like, just words that are experiencing a visceral pain that they would be relieved of. And then you should scroll through the comments and see what people are actually saying because when people, because when people really start jumping onto, um, onto, um, you can see, like, how they experience it and the, the amount or the volume of that experience. And if you look at yourself and figure out, like, what problem am I facing everyday that I could solve, you ask yourself two questions. Number one is, what do I procrastinate on? Pushing back everyday just because, like, I don't wanna deal with it. And then two is what infuriates me? Like, what makes me so mad to do everyday is pain that you're avoiding. And then irritation is pain that you keep hitting. And just to remind you, like, you're not looking for a pain that's mild, like, yeah, this sucks, well, deal with it. You're looking for pain that is so painful that people will pay you to get rid of it. Like, I fucking broke my leg. I will pay a doctor to that pain, right? It has to be really fucking real. For me is I'm so sick and tired of cold emailing, that I admire, just wanna get something. I would have paid money of them and get their response. That was real. To the end, then I am proud of you because you're ready to build something that helps people. But I'm gonna hold you accountable. You're gonna comment below, I'm gonna commit to finding one pain point this week. Just one. That's all I need. If you come up with three or five, that's great, but all you need, if that's all, that's it. The best way to hold yourself accountable is to actually just say it out loud in public. While I'm doing that, I'm gonna crank out a video that teaches you starting with that pain point you've identified into the actual product and building code.
