Ask HN: Research and the Pain Point Simplified

Dear Gentle Entrepreneur,

The source of your Awesome and Win lies not in your bold fearlessness, but rather within, as you know, that 20 hours of research, and your fear. Entrepreneurism is Fear. Of failure, of success, of repetition, and so on. One could recommend any number of public domain, classic, and contemporary books and lectures toward acclimating you to find and face your fears. Zelda II, Blaster Master, yes, even video games have done it. Poets, Caesars, Queens, and even Kings.

But, for your convenience, let us give an example close to our own heart. We are best at finding our fear and facing it before committing to some five and twelve hours of research.

Simply put, we're pinning tabs in Chrome, placing our beastliest tabs farthest on the left. Right now we're looking at [news.ycombinator.com, reddit.com, growl.info] as the top three most terrorizing (pardon the metonym) pain points.

If you were us, as a thought experiment, where would you begin that twenty hours of research?

All Best,
