Discovering Million Dollar Business Ideas During A Crisis

This YouTube video (Jesse Acker, associated with T. Harv Eker) teaches a practical process for finding "million dollar" business ideas during a crisis by adopting a problem-solver mindset. It highlights that recessions create new opportunities (claim: many Fortune 500 firms started in 2009), presents three lenses to spot problems (your own frustrations, complaints you hear from others, and market/economic shifts), and gives three validation criteria for ideas (personal resonance/passion, necessary skills or willingness to partner, and a paying market). The video also promotes the Million Dollar Business Secrets program (discounted to $99) and encourages viewers to list at least ten problems as idea seeds.

They're beautiful lemons, right? Most people look at these lemons and say, wow, nice lemons and nice lemon tree. But then there's the people with the millionaire mindset that say, hey, let me take those lemons and make lemonade. Hey, it's Jesse Acker. And welcome to issue number four of the Millionaire Mindset.

Harv Eker, who has created multiple seven figure businesses, multimillion dollar businesses, you know, has always used the principle, one of the principles, one of the six principles that he teaches in the Million Dollar Business Secrets program is, you know, you have to be a problem solver. You have to be a problem solver. And the people that solve other people's problems are going to continuously come up with great ideas. So when someone has a problem, they're looking for a solution. And when people want a solution, they pay for it. So I saw this really great thing on Twitter this morning, which was great timing and it was really interesting to me. And I think it's perfect, perfect timing for right now to share it because a lot of people don't realize how great the opportunity is right now. The crisis has created a lot of new opportunities for new entrepreneurs or current entrepreneurs to use this time to help a lot of people. So on Twitter, it basically said that 50% of the Fortune 500 companies today, 50% of them started in 2009. 50% started in 2009 during the recession. Why would 50% of the Fortune 500 companies start during the worst time? Well, during poor times, during crisises, during recessions, what happens is new opportunities are created, new trends are created, new markets are created, new problems are exposed that you've never even thought of before. And that's why this time is such a great opportunity for you to look at what are the problems people are having, what are solutions they're looking for, and how do I step into that right now? Okay, so the definition of an entrepreneur, at least the way that we teach, is that it's someone. An entrepreneur is someone who solves a problem at a profit. Now, I don't want your mind to go crazy right now because some of you already are probably thinking, well, people are struggling, people are having misfortune, I shouldn't take advantage of the situation. And you're not. You're solving a problem, you're helping provide a solution, you're helping someone. So I want you to make sure that you stay in that mindset, that you're here to solve a problem, that you're here to help someone, you're here to make their life and maybe your own life better. So there's three ways I want you to be thinking of this. The first way specifically is think about your own life. Think of your own problems, think of your own irritations, your own complaints, your own frustrations. What is going on in your life right now that you're dealing with right now? What's causing you some ruckus? Or what have you said recently where you're like, dang, I wish there was something easier for this, or I wish there was a solution for this. That, my friends, is a great example of what could possibly be a great million dollar idea. Now the second thing I want you to be thinking of is maybe it's not your own problem, but you keep hearing from other people that have complaints, they have their own frustrations, they're coming with you and saying, oh, wow, I can't believe this is happening. This is such a huge issue. Think and hear what other people are saying. That's another great way of looking at what problems you can possibly provide solutions for. And the third, my friends, is specific to what's going on in the market today, what's going on in the economy today. The world has changed, new trends have emerged, new things are happening. Here's an example for you. Live events, in person, events all of a sudden gone, right? Gone. So what have some people done really quickly? Well, the first people who have the non millionaire mindset have just sat there and been like, I'm screwed, what do I do? The second group of people have pivoted and said, I'm going online, I'm going to make virtual events, I'm going to make them awesome. And the third group of people is providing solutions for the people that want to go online and say, hey, you probably never done this before. I'm going to show you how to set up your office. I'm going to show you what equipment you need. I'm going to give you training, I'm going to help you and coach you to be a pro online so that your market, your people are going to love you. Those, my friends are getting paid a profit for helping the people who want to go online. Are they taking advantage of anyone? No, they're definitely not. They're helping them because they them to be able to do their business. They're helping other people. So those are the three ways that I want you to be thinking and I want you to make at least a list of at least 10, 10 different problems that you're seeing with yourself or other people you're hearing or the market that you're finding in the marketplace right now. All right? So those are the three things. Now when we're thinking about million dollar ideas, you're not only thinking about other businesses you can start that are new. You can think about things that you do in your own business, your own industry that you can add on that, you can bolt on that you can make product extensions for, make new offers for. Okay, but here's one of the things that I don't want you to fall into the trap of. One is starting a business that you really don't like or have no resonation with, have no purpose with, have no, like, mission behind. You're just doing it for the money. Listen, there's a lot of different opportunities out there. There's a lot of different things that you can always do. Don't follow the money. Don't follow the money. Right now, first start with your heart. Does it speak to you? Is it something that resonates with you? Is it something that you want to do? Listen, you're going to have to put time, energy, focus. Any motivation for money runs out very quickly. All right? So I want you to be thinking of it. Is it something that you truly want to solve? Right. If you think of the show Shark Tank, which is a very famous show, most of the people who are pitching these sharks, they're pitching the sharks at because it's. And they're pitching these sharks that basically the pitch is almost always a problem that they personally have that they really wanted a solution for, so they created it. So remember, find something that speaks to you. Don't do something just for the money and the market and the opportunity. There's lots of that out there. Okay. The second thing that I want you to be thinking about specifically is, do you have the skills to be able to do this business? And if you don't have the skills, are you willing to partner with someone who does? Because maybe you don't have the skills in some technology, but you really have something that's speaking to you that feels like a really important solution that you want to give to the marketplace. A big problem that you say, hey, I want to provide a solution with this, but I have to find someone else that to be able to help me with that. If you either have the skills to do it or you want to partner up with someone, that's a great criteria for you to move on to the next step, the third and final step. Now, the third and final step here is, is there a market for this? Is there actually people that have this problem? Are you the only one with the problem, or is there other people that actually have the problem that are actually going to pay to give a solution for it? Some people have a problem, but they wouldn't pay a dollar for it. Right. So you got to make sure that you're getting into a market that people are, one, having the problem with, and two, are willing to actually put some money into like to solve that problem. So today I really want you to be thinking about, okay, so these are the problems that we specifically are seeing. These are the problems that I'm seeing with myself, with my people that I'm hearing and with the market. And this is the opportunity that I have at hand that I want to solve a problem. And these are the ideas that I've come up with. So, so make sure you make a list of ideas today.
