Fixing the core problem

There are so many niches these days. But do they really fix their core problem?

Let me give you an example of a business model.

Very few people want to be lonely, but also very few people want to meet strangers.

This is a problem. And if you have been to any networking event, you will definitively know that there are very real reasons why people feel anxious.

Meeting new people can be exciting or incredibly frustrating.

So instead, the companies created a cure called alcohol.

But this is not really a cure. Many people overuse and abuse with this substance, just because of stress or social pressure.

Did alcohol solve the issue of meeting people or made the things worse? If you look at the statistics of all the alcohol abuse, it definitively didn’t help a lot.

Did Instagram solve the problem of being more connected with people using pictures?

Again, no, it just created more social media addiction.

When you create a business, look for a way to solve the core problem first, because we definitely need more businesses like that!

Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
