Rather than more one line comments that are advertisements of a poster's ignorance, learn and attempt to refute this channel of resource allocation that not only does not create jobs, but may also terminate them. Though it is more accurate to say it is a zero sum game of staking claims on wealth or confiscating it by means of unjustified legalities and market manipulation.
What actually creates jobs, Hanauer says, is not "rich people" or "entrepreneurs," but the economic ecosystem in which companies are created. The entrepreneur and initial investors provide the "seed" that eventually leads to job-creation, but it is ultimately the company's customers that provide the demand necessary to support jobs. Without healthy customers, Hanauer says, entrepreneurs and investors can't create any sustainable jobs, so the idea that rich people create jobs is misguided.
Problem with what? There is no problem with that idea. There is an obstacle, and that obstacle is that I haven't found any clients yet. This is proving to be a difficult obstacle to overcome.
Perhaps the demand for your product, service or idea isn't as great as you think it is.
Or, perhaps you are selling yourself to potential clients in the same manner you are selling yourself here....very poorly. Your posts come off as self-defeatist.

Perhaps. Perhaps the demand is greater than I think it is.
The situation is a lot like the Henry Ford quote: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” What I'd be selling is something that is:
a. Specific to each firm, requiring rather detailed knowledge of how a firm operates, and the data "byproducts" it generates.
b. Something that people don't know can be done at all, and therefore have a hard time paying for.

Perhaps. Perhaps I don't sell myself or my skills in a way that it at all similar to the things I say on an anonymous political forum. I agree that selling this idea (the service-based idea) requires salesmanship.
The other idea, the product-based idea, should basically sell itself, in small quantities, at high profit margins. At least, that's what I anticipate.
