I've been thinking about striking out on my own, having both run a contract software business and worked for a startup recently.

I'm inclined to think that the best way to find fit is to make sure people are willing to _overpay_ you for services. For instance, I have a great deal of expertise when it comes to graphics, and I could probably insist on being overpaid in this realm.

If I could automate what I am overpaid for at scale I might have a business.

What does "over pay" here mean? More than what you perceive the value of the product or service to be?

I think the key here is shifting your mindset to see value as percieved by the customer.

Percieved value is actual value.
