Look at the evolution of technology. Every time one product solves a problem, another market is born.
Smartphones solved the problem of communication and access to the internet. But they created a new demand for apps, accessories, and data. Solar energy solved the problem of power but created the need for stronger batteries. Cars solved transport but created demand for fuel, insurance, and repair services.
The entrepreneurs who see beyond the first problem are the ones who control the cycle. Because the real wealth is not in solving just one problem, but in anticipating the problems your solution will create.
