Why is it so hard to spot a business opportunity?

My friend John was multitasking with his smartphone while having a conversation with Mario.
"I can't find a good business opportunity!" john complained.
"What are you doing to find such an opportunity?" Mario asked.
Mario waited.
"Luigi?"
"What? Ohm, yes... Well, what I mean is that there are NO opportunities out there!" john replied.
"That was not my question Luigi, I asked what are you doing to find them?" Mario insisted.
"What do you expect me to do?" john paused and showed his phone's screen to Mario and said, "ohm, by the way, have you seen ‘Stranger Things’ on Netflix?"
Mario paused and said, "Luigi, your brain can only find what you're INTENTIONALLY searching for. You're distracted. You will NEVER find the business opportunity you desire."
"What?" for the first time, john looked up at Mario. "What did you say?"
"You're clearly NOT in control of your attention. Either you control your brain, or someone else will."
To answer your question, why is it so hard to spot a business opportunity?
Personally, I blame distractions.


We’re the most distracted generation in history!

Why do millennial have more student loan debt than any other generation?

The lost generation: Today’s children get prizes and awards merely for participating — this sends a DANGEROUS message to kids: “We’re all winners.” This mindset is repeated continuously at the end of each project, event, or season. As a result, kids grow up expecting awards and praise just for showing up — (by the way, this sounds like socialism.) This mindset leaves kids terribly unprepared for the harsh realities of capitalism. Capitalism is ruthless. It rewards only winners, not just anyone that shows up to ‘work.’ Today, these kids are being offered an irresistible deal: “Go to college, and don’t worry; you can pay the massive college tuition with credit, and whenever you find a job with your ‘valuable’ degree, you can pay it back later.” “I MUST participate!” So, here they go to “participate,” at a mediocre college, to study a mediocre (and outdated) degree, to finally, AGAIN, get a “participation reward,” called a degree... Now, here comes real life: There’...

What happens to the founders after big tech acquisitions?

Whats App  was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum — both former employees of Yahoo! In September 2007, they took about a year off for traveling around South America. After buying an iPhone, they saw opportunity in the growing App Store. In February 2009, they incorporated Whats App Inc. in California. After many bugs and failures, the app suddenly started to gain momentum. With growth, however, the costs quickly started to add up, so they occasionally switched the app from "free" to $0.99 so they wouldn't grow too fast. A few years later, in February 2013, Whats App's user base had grown to about 200 million active users and 50 employees. Sequoia would invest $50 million, valuing Whats App at $1.5 billion. In February 2014, just a few months after Sequoia’s round, Facebook, Inc. announced it was acquiring  Whats App  for US$19 billion  — its largest acquisition to date. What happened to the founders after Whats App's acqu...

Who will be the most successful entrepreneur of the 2020 and why?

Elon Musk 1- SpaceX:  When Elon Musk started SpaceX, the venture was seen as a fantasy and something that most didn’t take seriously. Elon and the SpaceX Team have proven them wrong. Elon has a mission to make Mars habitable in case the earth is no longer a viable option. I wouldn’t be surprised if SpaceX successfully sends men to Mars in this decade. 2- Tesla : Electric vehicles have been around for a few decades now, but none have really caught on … until Elon got involved. Tesla has solved problems like slow charging, short range, slow speed, and slow acceleration, plus has made EVs affordable. Now all the car industry is trying to catch up with Elon and the Tesla Team. Personally, I don’t think they have the corporate culture and innovative thinking to do so. Tesla will continue to revolutionize the car industry. 3- Tesla Batteries Founded in 2006, Elon is seeking to make renewable energy something that every home can afford plus revolutionize the b...
