The easiest business you will ever start:

- Has high demand
- Has low competition

You want to walk into a market as the only person who has something everyone wants and can’t get anywhere else.

Then, you sell it to them.

Here are 11 businesses with virtually no competition:
1/ Home service concierge

Here’s the pitch:

- Wealthy people own expensive homes
- It’s not worth it for them to care of it themselves
- So they pay someone a healthy monthly fee to take care of *everything*

An example winner in this business is @bundl_home Image
@bundl_home 2/ RV repair

S/O to @krissberg for this recommendation.

Depending on your market, niche skilled trades like RV mechanics are not going to be common at all, and all RVs break down over time.
3/ Airbnb Cleaning

8 out of 10 cleaning companies you call won't even pick up the phone.

And most of these companies do NOT do vacation rental turnovers.

Airbnb turnovers are highly recurring and a "need to have" service.

4/ Vanlife builders

This idea comes from a personal conversation with a buddy who started building out vans for Van Life enthusiasts.

He’d buy Mercedes Sprinters and deck them out in premium furnishings, solar power, everything.

Last we chatted, he had a 4 month backlog. Image
5/ Garage renovator

This is the exact same model as Vanlife builders.

I don’t see many businesses like this despite the rising trend of garage build outs.

Shoutout to @MatznerJon who built Garage Excell and now shows people how to do it themselves Image
6/ Zero-plastic home refill stations

More customers want to use less plastic in their lives, so they’re starting to go to refill stations for the products they use consistently.

- shampoo
- soap
- lotion
- all purpose cleaners

@SustainLA is an example company in this niche. Image
7/ Local Newsletter

Starting a local newsletter is probably one of the best ways to get deep access into your community as well as a ton of local starpower.

@lifeof_scoop is one of the best people to follow in this niche as he builds an empire of these local newsletters. Image
@lifeof_scoop 8/ Geeksquad for seniors

I’m stealing this from @realjondavids.

It’s basically all inclusive on-call tech support for everything around a senior’s home for $100/mo.
9/ IKEA contracting

You know how everyone hates assembling IKEA furniture?

Well, tons of people are willing to pay someone else to pick up, drop off, and assemble everything they buy from IKEA.

@Jeldeez runs a business called Hire Hexi that does exactly this in Michigan. Image
10/ @CoffeeRecycling

I’m fascinated by businesses that take garbage and turn it into gold.

And today, you can walk into any Starbucks store and take multiple garbage bags of used coffee grounds for free.

You just have to recycle them into things like fertilizer or charcoal. Image
11/ Garbage bin cleaning

This business model has really picked up steam lately.

It’s no longer an undiscovered gem, but there’s still no competitors in most tier 2 cities.

I think some of these franchisors might be worth taking a look at like Cantastic or Sparkling Bins. Image

The easiest business you will ever start:

- Has high demand
- Has low competition

You want to walk into a market as the only person who has something everyone wants.

Then, you sell it to them.

Here are 11 businesses with virtually no competition:
1/ Dog poop scooper

I met a guy making ~$20k/mo with pretty decent margins doing this.

The ticket amount is low, so you need high density.

It's a needed service that is pretty hard to find.
2/ Home service concierge

Here’s the pitch:

- Wealthy people own expensive homes
- It’s not worth it for them to care of it themselves
- So they pay someone a healthy monthly fee to take care of *everything*

I’m booking a safari and just got off the phone with a local company.

Smoothest sales pitch I’ve ever heard. I dropped $5K in 10 minutes.

In fact, I was *relieved* to hand over my credit card. THAT’S how dialed in this company’s pitch was.

Here’s the 4 step sales process they used on me:
The first thing they did? 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞.

While other safari companies were hiding behind contact forms and getting back to me in “1-2 business days”, these folks were like "Hello, want to see some lions?"

No-brainer, but already puts them wayyy ahead of competition.

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #𝟏: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬.
The guy who answered wasn't just a sales bro trying to maximize his commission on luxury tent upgrades.

He sounded super knowledgable. When I suggested a particular route, he straight-up said "Nah, you'll just be watching hippos take naps for 3 days.”

Brutal honesty = instant trust.

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤 #𝟐: 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝.

I run a national Airbnb cleaning franchise with over 30 locations in the US.

The crazy part: one of the hottest Airbnb territories in the Southeast hasn't been taken yet.

Here is why Charleston, South Carolina is a hidden gem: Image
1) Proven Market -

You might already know that big players like Molly Maids and MaidPro already do well here, which proves that Charleston has a strong demand.

But these companies cater to a different demographic, leaving the Airbnb niche wide open for disruptions. Image
2) The Airbnb market has exploded -

Charleston is home to over 6,000 vacation rental listings. It has 70,000 households in general, meaning the vacation rental ratio is HUGE.

According to AirDNA, Charleston has a healthy 61% occupancy rate and an average daily rate of $366. Image

I manage my 7-figure home service business on auto-pilot with just 1 meeting per week.

How? Using the Level 10 meeting structure.

Here's the EXACT template you can copy:

Hi, I'm Neel and I run @MaidThis, a national cleaning franchise with 28 locations.

I hired a super expensive consultant to implement the EOS system in my biz to help me run it on autopilot.

But, I found the EOS system way too bulky.

So, I stripped it down to a version I call EOS Lite and I'm sharing it to you here for free.
@MaidThis This is a continuation of a 5 Part Daily Thread Series I'm posting called "EOS Lite: Automate Your Business".

It's about how to implement the EOS framework into your business to scale way faster.

Hot take: Not every company needs to have some altruistic, world changing Vision.

If you just want to create a badass company that prints money for your team, that's totally acceptable.

Here's how to implement your personal Vision for your business using EOS Lite🧵
