Jennifer,

This is a tough sell since you yourself are not experiencing a problem to
solve... as a trader who farms out all sorts of work, I ask around for what I
need... all econ starts with dissatisfaction.

You are doing what they say, find a need and fill it, but I argue you
"experience a problem and solve it" is the more likely way. Reframe your
question
based on a problem you experience...start there.
