I think the "what would you pay to have solved?" question is why business-types are often better than technical-types.
I meet very few technical-type hackers who aren't absolute cheapskates with any products and services that they can just clobber together with a shell script or two.
Therefore it may be often more helpful to ask "What would my friends pay to have solved?"

Laziness is useful here. Lazy developers are among the most inventive, since invention generally involves wanting to automate something that you formerly had to do manually.
