How much of a problem solver are you?

In this same country where most youths are complaining of hunger, joblessness, and lack and are going into illegal things because of these supposed setbacks, others are making it Big by just solving simple problems in their environment.

It's just a difference of mentality. What you see as a problem, to another, is an opportunity that can bring him out of poverty. We used to read a story where two friends visited a community where occupants were all barefooted. One insulted them and looked down on them while the other saw it as an opportunity that was worth leveraging on and brought footwear to the region and made tons of money out of it. While it's easy to applaud the guy who was able to think outside the box and take the risk, some of us have seen countless opportunities but only speak Ill of the systems and environment without using them to our advantage.

COVID drained so many businesses off the market but for others, it was a turning point in their lives. The inability of our leaders to provide jobs for their citizens has made so many youths jobless on the street but for others, it brought out the entrepreneurial spirit in them and made them depend more on themselves than others.

So here comes the question;
How much of a problem solver are you?

Can you share your experience on how you saw a real-life problem in your environment and made a business out of it by solving the problem while making yourself financially better in the process?
