Today: 5 founders who solved problems and changed their lives.

Study these, take all the lessons, and apply it to your biz.

I can’t wait to see what you build.

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

He built a profitable micro-SaaS in 10 days

So this guy gets the news every FT employee dreads…

He got laid off.

Worst part?

He got the notice while on vacation!

But instead of sulking around… he started building.

10 days later he had an MVP, launched it, and got PAYING customers.

This is the perfect example of not overthinking and validating FAST.

See the full breakdown here.

2. The Coffee ☕

$291K A MONTH teaching people how to code

This guy found the perfect problem:

Learning to code is boring and expensive.

He solved it by launching gamified coding courses for cheap.

He built the MVP fast and slowly started growing.

• $3K/mo in the first 6 months
• $10K/mo in year 1
• $26K/mo in year 2

Today?

$291K… PER MONTH 🤯

3. The Eggs 🍳

He built a product in one week and now makes $30K/year

He had worked a normal 9-5 for YEARS.

He got bored… so he started building side projects.

But none of them ever took off.

Why?

He never solve a REAL problem!

He built sh*t w/o validating the idea.

So he found a simple problem, built a quick MVP, and sure enough…

Got 40 paying customers in the first week!

Today he’s doing ~$3K per month with 95% PROFIT

See how he did it.

How did Miko grow by 115% GMV in just one year?*

He leveraged 2-day shipping with Walmart Fulfillment Services.

See, Miko had products sitting on his shelves that previously did not have 2-day shipping.

But with one click of a button, he increased GMV by 1573% on those items.

That's the Walmart Marketplace difference.

4. The Toast 🥪

He started a $5M business from his van

So this guy quit his job, sold everything, bought a van, and started living out of it.

All he wanted was freedom to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted (relatable)

Then he saw this random YT video that inspired a crazy idea…

What if I sold all-natural, organic products?

Cool… but that’s been done a million times, right?

Wrong.

He found a unique audience with his unique brand

And turned it into a $5M/year profitable business.

Insane.

5. The Pancakes 🥞

This SIMPLE countdown timer website makes $10K/Month

She had been building side projects for years (mostly for fun).

Then one day she ran into a problem while giving a presentation for work:

She couldn’t easily time her presentation.

Sounds simple enough to solve, right?

So she built a little app for herself over the weekend and thought nothing of it.

But she kept seeing this problem everywhere.

So she posted the idea on Reddit… and it TOOK OFF!

Within 6 months, she had enough paying customers to quit her FT job.

It’s insane because… it’s SO simple...It’s just a countdown timer.

But it solves a real problem for real people.

I love it!

That's it!

I hope you have the best Sunday, and are getting ready for a great week ahead!
