Vincent says that building a solo business requires you to work on a boring idea, i.e. something everyone already knows the value proposition of, e.g. punch card on computer.<p>How does one learn about these "mundane" issues that small business owners face? The examples I've seen from Vincent / Patrick McKenzie (patio11) are happenstance (e.g. I happen to hang out in this community, so I know). Like many of us here, I'm an engineer in a tech company and does not naturally have small business owners in my circle.<p>So what's an efficient way to reach out and understand small businesses' problems? Online forums (which one?), local business associations?
