Ask HN: How do I change the world?

From a very young age, I've always known I wanted to have a positive impact on society. I know I want to start a business that solves problems with technology. I just don't know what societal problem I am going to solve yet.

I'm looking to gather some valuable insight from the community to help improve my decision-making.

More specifically, I want to hear what HN has to say on the following questions: - How can I find a problem I want to solve, and what are the indicators it's even worth pursuing? I don't want to waste years of my life on something that isn't required, or isn't effective. - Are there specific industries that you think need innovation through software? - How can I balance solving a genuine need and providing a valuable business opportunity? - Do you have any stories from running your business? - What advice do you have when it comes to staying motivated?
