The reason this doesn’t work is because these businesses aren’t making money and don’t have a pile of cash sitting around to throw at ideas Anybody who has tried selling stuff to SMB knows they are all broke and it’s just brain damage

Meet Raema. She made $357,000 last year as a stay at home mom of 4, working 20 hours a week. This required $0 on marketing She also started this in her living room. If that's not enough, her entire startup cost was $800 for the LLC, a reseller's license, and some boxes from Uline. What is it? Corporate gifting. Yes, you read that right. Nobody knows this market even exists. It's wild. Let me explain. This is a $250 billion industry. Tech companies, insurance firms, B2B sales teams all need to send prospects boxes of stuff to close deals. Raema fulfills that need. In this episode Raema: - Broke down her margins - Shows how she sources products wholesale - Tells me why LinkedIn has been her best growth channel - And gives me the four-part framework she uses to run the business Check this one out!

These guys make $3,000/night running one of the most unique businesses i've ever seen And I've seen a lot of them. Before I tell you what it is, (unless you just watched the video) This business is proof that anything can become a business And anyone can start one. "But all the good ideas are taken.." FALSE. If you believe that, watch this video on "plant bingo". Yes, you read that right. Regular bingo, but you win plants. $35/ticket and you get a free plant. If you win, you get an even better plant. Most locations let you host for free because you're bringing people in. Have you ever gone to one of these? Probably not. Which means you should start one where you live. One game a weekend and you're making over $100k/ year.

My plea to parents with young kids Lower your mortgage Lower your car payment No one cares if you wear a Rolex Your priorities are most likely not my priorities My priorities are health, family, and freedom to do whatever I want to do. I never missed even one of m son's baseball games. 12 years of baseball. Even during C*vid, I snuck in the games, because spectators were not allowed. I never missed my daughters dance recitals or volleyball games. I was at every one. I never missed anything they did. They are adults now, and I tell them repeatedly. If you start playing bar league sports, I’ll be there watching. The only parents will be my wife and I. I’m not bragging. I’m begging. Figure out a way to re-align your priorities. Stop working to keep up with that friend who bought another Rolex. Material stuff is useless. People wonder why I’m taking 7 vacations/year? Priorities. What they don’t see is me working everywhere, everyday. I run 3 businesses and I can run them anywhere in the world. My wife is my rock. 27 years of marriage and she puts up with all my crazy ideas. Figure it out I’m begging you No regrets #weregonnafindout #OneLife

I join every sales call 90 seconds early and say things the prospect will never hear. Because I'm not talking to them. I'm talking to their AI notetaker. Every $5M+ ecom brand runs them now. Fireflies. Otter. Fathom. Those bots join 60 seconds before the founder does. So I use that window to say things like: > "Just wrapped with [competitor]. They're going hard again... anyway." > "Finance is gonna kill me for this pricing. But I actually like this brand." > "Tell them I'll call back. Hopping on with an 8-figure store right now." Then the call starts. I run the demo like normal. Call ends. Their AI summary hits their inbox: ✅ Bustem fights copycats for their competitors ✅ We're flexible on pricing for them specifically ✅ We're in demand and care about their brand I didn’t say it to them. I said it to the machine writing their notes. Close rate jumped 3x. Pay attention to how people buy now.

Mindset of a guy who bootstrapped to a billion a year, w a sweatshirt brand It's like adam neumann - through sheer force of will and self belief, this guy just relentlessly started putting dents into the universe until it gave him what he wanted "Try that shit on someone else"

I'm a simple man. I convert 100% of my income into bitcoin on @Strike for zero fees/spread. I never sell a single sat. I run every single expense through the @coinbase credit card to earn even more bitcoin. I pay my credit card, car payment, and mortgage via a line of credit against my bitcoin on coinbase for ~4% and no payments due. I draw against it every month and add collateral as needed. Hell, even the bitcoin collateral counts towards the coinbase credit card tiers. Excess bitcoin stays in cold storage. Why do I do this? @jackmallers is right. Keep the bitcoin, borrow the shitty money. I do this because over 3, 5, 10, etc years I'll have retained 100% of my income that's been accumulated in the best money in human history. I'll have borrowed and spent USD, which will be printed to infinity. Feels good.

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it. He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time. His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages. His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything. My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder. I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

I hate how good this sounds

i found a github repo that lets you spin up an ai agency with ai employees engineers, designers, growth marketers, product managers each role runs as its own agent and they coordinate to ship ideas 10k+ stars in under 7 days 1. engineering (7 agents) frontend, backend, mobile, ai, devops, prototyping, senior development 2. design (7) ui/ux, research, architecture, branding, visual storytelling, image generation 3. marketing (8) growth hacking, content, twitter, tiktok, instagram, reddit, app store 4. product (3) sprint prioritization, trend research, feedback synthesis 5. project management (5) production, coordination, operations, experimentation 6. testing (7) qa, performance analysis, api testing, quality verification 7. support (6) customer service, analytics, finance, legal, executive reporting 8. spatial computing (6) xr, visionos, webxr, metal, vision pro 9. specialized (6) multi agent orchestration, data analytics, sales, distribution what i like about this approach is the framing instead of one big ai agent trying to do everything, you structure it more like a company. specialized agents, clear responsibilities, workflows between them im curious to see what this actually feels like in practice and if its any good (do your own research) github.com/msitarzewski/a… but as always will share what i learn in public and on @startupideaspod one thing is for certain and it reminds me the future belongs to those who tinker with software like this

@realpeteyb123 For someone in their early 30’s with the same goal, would you say there’s a number in the bank that achieves

The government forced me into an early retirement. I used to work nonstop. If I was awake, I was working. Traveling constantly. Missing time with my kids. Then it all stopped. I was home with them every day and realized I didn’t need to chase a higher score. I already had more than enough. Wealthy is doing what you want, when you want. That’s happiness. Retire if you can.
