🔢 3 Great Businesses/Ideas
Some people collect watches, I collect random business ideas.
There’s a list in my Apple notes app that I bundle up and share my favorite ones with you here.
Here are 3 I stumbled upon that I think you’ll love:
Friday WorldWide –– This is a better cameo. For $50 you can send hilarious personalized videos to friends for their birthdays, celebrations, etc.
Newly Named –– I love businesses that take complicated one-time events (ie. changing your name after getting married, divorced, etc.) and make an easy $89 package around it.
$2,000,000 Puzzle – MSCHF is genius at marketing. This is no exception. They built a puzzle that you build into a QR code and scan it for a chance at puzzles ranging from $1 to $1M in prizes.

🕯 Big Ass Candles
Whether it’s king sized halloween candy or 7-11 Big Gulps, one thing is for sure in the US: People want bigger.
I’m a member of Ecommerce Fuel where they share learnings from 7 & 8 figure ecom entrepreneurs.
Last week the owner of Big Ass Luxuries wrote about how launching a candle with a 1,000 hour burn time made him $1M+ in his first year 🤯

If it were me, I’d launch in another niche that’s both Evergreen + Consumables: Big Ass Soap
PS – 3 other examples of this working well already is Bulk Supplements, Big Blankets & Big A** Calendars
🇺🇸 USA
Great reminder. How much would you have to be paid to not be born in the US?
Whenever I get bad luck I like to remind myself that I was born in America and I wouldn’t trade my good luck in for another dice roll.
So I’ll take the bad luck as a low price for what good luck has brought me.
