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

Nick Huber is leaving a ton of money on the table.

At this point, everyone knows his partnership strategy.

But there’s a path for him to build and sell a $100,000,000 franchise brand within 3 years.

Using ONLY his Twitter...

Here's the math
👇👇👇
First, let me say this:

I’m the franchisor of @MaidThis

I source 90% of my franchise leads through Twitter. And I have a relatively tiny following.

Over the past 6 months, I’ve posted 1 thread a week and driven 300+ discovery calls.

We currently have 15 locations.
Twitter has been an absolute hack for me as a marketing channel.

And these results are from my small reach with 13,000 followers.

I can only imagine what @sweatystartup could do with 300,000+ followers, or @SahilBloom can do with almost 1M followers.

As your business evolves, your systems will break.

What got you from $0 to $1M will not get you from $1M to $2M.

At each stage of the journey, old systems stop working and you need to invent new ones to level up.

Here's how to adjust your systems at each revenue stage 🧵
0-$150K:

This is the “Doing the Work” stage.

At this point, it’s probably just you as you start to build past $100k in revenue.

The systems you need are primarily based around you being better or faster at what you do.
For home service companies, these systems are things like,

- @ZenMaid for scheduling, invoicing, calendar management

- @NiceJobApp for easy google reviews

- @dialpad for phone calls/texts

Boring businesses are cash flow monsters.

More boring = More cash

Well, I found 5 of the most boring franchises ever.

They are so boring you’ve never heard of them.

Let’s go
👇👇
1/ Hood Guyz

You know those giant metal things that hang over stoves and fryers in every restaurant in the U.S.?

Well, those things need to be cleaned every few months. Image
Basically, this work is done after hours when a kitchen is closed for the night.

If the cleaning isn’t done properly and frequently, a restaurant could get shut down.

Want to escape the rat race in 2023 and travel the world?

Start a local business remotely.

Build it into a $100K+/mo money making machine.

Let me show you exactly how I did this 👇
1/ First, let's decide on the TYPE of local business we’ll start.

Any local business can technically be ran remotely.

But some models are better than others.
Characteristics of the ideal remote-local business model:

✔️ Labor is dispatched directly to the job site, no office involved.

✔️ Asset-light (avoid the use of heavy equipment, tons of inventory)

✔️ No onsite management needed (team can be managed remotely) Image

In college, I knew a guy whose girlfriend’s dad owned 160 McDonalds.

Good news: He married her and now runs that empire.

But if you can't marry into an empire....

Here are 6 up-and-coming franchises you can catch the early wave with to build generational wealth:
1/ Pink Zebra Moving -

One of the best indicators of a great new franchise is a founder who has done it before.

Ron Holt also founded Two Maids and a Mop and scaled it from 1 location to ~90 in 5 years. Image
One thing that drew Ron to the moving industry is also what drew him to cleaning.

No robot is going to replace these industries.

They can’t be technologically disrupted, and the difference between a good business and a bad one is in operations.

I run a $1,000,000+ company 100% remotely while traveling full-time.

The ONLY way this is possible is by having great systems.

But I’ve never seen anyone explain how to actually create systems when you’re starting from 0...

So let me show you how (in granular detail):
⬇️⬇️ Image
1/ Choose your database

The first decision you’ll make when building systems is which database to use.

I use Notion internally because it’s easy for my teammembers to understand and I don’t need advanced features other databases have.
But, here’s a few others that I've used and like:

- Slab (this is what we use at @MaidThis for our Franchise Ops Manual)
- Clickup
- Asana
- Confluence

There’s a few others but selecting the tool isn't as important and just getting something going.
