Hey, it's Niall 👋
15 years working for myself has taught me a lot — but here’s one lesson that surprised me.
Even the most seasoned entrepreneurs sometimes ask…
Am I even doing this right?
The truth is, doubt doesn’t disappear with experience.
You just get better at pushing through it.
If you’re second-guessing yourself today, congrats, you’re in good company.
These folks have also admitted to feeling self-doubt at one time or another 👇
Neil Armstrong
Meryl Streep
Chris Martin
Tina Fey
Elizabeth Gilbert
Daniel Radcliffe
Lady Gaga
Michael Phelps
Tom Hanks
Remember, you’re not stuck — you're just figuring it out in real-time (like the rest of us).
Let’s explore 5 business ideas that can help you move forward 👇

A Surprisingly Simple Way to Make $500 a Day
What if you could start a hands-off cleaning business that you manage entirely from your phone?
You never do any of the cleaning yourself — and the setup can take just a few hours.
💰 Many earn anywhere from $200 to $600 per job.
That’s how Johnny Robinson built a 7-figure remote cleaning business, working only a few hours a week while traveling the world.
Even better: ~30% of his students are now earning $20,000+ per month, and I’ve personally reviewed many student testimonials that back it up.
Want to learn how to do it yourself?
Johnny’s hosting a FREE Live Masterclass where he’ll walk you through the exact steps to build a remote cleaning business from scratch — zero experience needed.

SELLING A COURSE
Her 3-Hour Crash Course Earned $1 Million in 7 Months
Back in 2020, Sarah Michelle Boes passed her nurse practitioner (NP) exam 👩⚕️
Afterwards she needed to earn some money for a dental procedure.
Per a recent report 👇
Boes recorded a three-hour crash course on Zoom to help aspiring nurse practitioners pass their board exams. If she could make just $500, she told herself, it would be a game-changer.
She didn’t expect what happened next. Within two years, Sarah Michelle NP Reviews helped more than 40,000 students pass their NP exams with a 99% pass rate.
In the first seven months alone, Sarah Michelle earned $1 million in revenue from her course.
Then in 2022 she sold the business for an 8-figure sum (ie. $10+ million) 🤑
Have you aced any exams as an adult?
How about creating a course to help others do the same? 🤔
Alternatively, create a study guide and sell it on Amazon, like this $8790 per month example.
DATABASE WEBSITE
Legislation & Tech Changes = $342 Million Opportunity
🎙️ Steph Smith shares on a recent podcast…
At about the 30-minute mark she talks about Glassdoor, which earns an estimated $342M per year 💰
Over the years, many people have submitted their salary info to Glassdoor and so they've built up a valuable database of that information, which is one of their primary traffic drivers.
But now many states require job postings to list salary info, and Steph spots an opportunity 👇
I have not seen anyone aggregate this information in a meaningful way… Glassdoor has really limited data in my opinion… someone should be scraping these salaries off of different websites… and building up this database…
[Glassdoor] was great for the first version of the internet and now… there's a change in legislation [and] the technology exists for someone to scrape this really easily and aggregate the information

LEAD GENERATION
Clever AI Hack To Sell A Service
💬 Chris Koerner tweets…
1. Use Zillow's API to scrape all homes that have been listed for 12+ months.
2. Use OpenAI's API to display them with fresh paint.
3. Send the pic to the homeowner or agent with a price.
4. Sell the leads to a painting co, or start one yourself.
5. OR, start an agency that does this for home service businesses in any niche.
Landscaping, pools, roofing, tree trimming etc etc etc.
🧐 Why does this work?
It removes friction and the need to think. Don't force your prospects to be creative or think. Show them what THEIR personalized final product looks like…
Show an overweight person exactly what they'd look like skinny. Before and after photos are already insanely effective
He includes some before/after photos generated with ChatGPT, the kind you could use for step two 👀

ACCOUNTABILITY
Boss As A Service = $62,500 Per Month
💬 Robin Vander Heyden tweets about Boss as a Service…
Probably the most creative productized service I've seen
• Hire a "boss" for $25/mo to keep you accountable
• 2500 customers
• Solo founder, profitable
2500 customers x $25/mo = $62,500 monthly revenue 💰
(Assuming those are all current customers.)
Manasvini Krishna launched the project back in 2018.
How about doing a niche version of this for 👇
Writers
Vibe coders
Freelancers
Etc.
Or find someone with an existing audience, offer to set up and run this kind of accountability service on their behalf.
Btw, this reminds me of My Body Tutor, a health and fitness accountability service that has 7500 customers x $399/mo = $3 million monthly revenue 🤑
Big money to be made helping people stay accountable.

Zero to $10K/Month in 6 Months With His Copycat App
Six months ago I told you about Jack Friks making $100/month within 3 days of launching his social media scheduler tool 🚀
I wrote then that Jack’s tool could easily grow into something substantial.
A recent update 👇
This guy makes $10,000/month with...
- an idea that’s already taken
- in an oversaturated market
- without adding AI features everywhere
- and he only started coding two years ago
A good reminder that you don't need an original idea.
Meanwhile, Jack lays out the marketing strategy for his app in a tweet that begins…
1 hours a day spent marketing my app (making + posting 6 videos)
30,000 downloads with this routine last month, 100% free.
you too can grow any b2c app for absolutely free, no paid ads.
Copy Jack's strategy and offer it as a service to help busy founders market their apps 💪
