Hey it’s Pat!

A lot of people think they need to have a shiny, new tool in order to build a business.

But the truth is that so many companies are built off of existing ideas.

The best founders figure out how to remix an old idea and create a unique advantage.

You can differentiate your product by being the cheapest, most convenient, or most niche product on the market.

Today: 5 founders who built successful businesses in “saturated” markets.

Again: you don’t need a shiny, new tool.

You just need a slightly better one.

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

He makes $10K/mo with an app he built in 24 hrs

So this guy likes to build cool solo projects (just for fun!)

And over the last 10 months, he shipped 13 projects and made over $100K! 🤯

But… he wasn’t always like this.

In fact, he made a TON of mistakes and had dozens of failed startups.

But his most recent project is taking off.

He built it in 24 hours, launched, and within two months has 11K users and makes $10K/mo.

MUST READ for solo founders and builders

2. The Coffee ☕

They make $1.2M without showing their face

Alright so this person launched an anonymous twitter account in a super specific niche.

They got pretty good traction because they were sharing… well… controversial opinions.

(I'm not saying this is a good strategy, but it gets attention!)

Anyway.

Through all of this, they decided to launch a better version of something you use every single day.

In just over a year, they’ve grown it to $100K/mo with some very unique marketing strategies.

It’s kind of an insane story.

3. The Eggs 🍳

This niche product makes $20K/mo

Here’s something I firmly believe:

You don’t have to build a brand new product.

You just have to differentiate yours from the rest.

That’s exactly what this solo founder did.

He took a tool that’s been made probably hundreds of times.

And he remixed it for a super niche audience.

The result?

$20K/mo and no signs of stopping.

This case study is PACKED with all the data you need to launch your next project.

Get the full breakdown here.

Together with Walmart

The floor care brand Tineco used to have lead times of 10+ days. Then they started shipping with Walmart Fulfillment Services and shortened them down to 1 or 2.

Now an established Walmart seller, Tineco uses the platform’s readily available tools to create consistent customer experiences, optimize the customer journey, and grow their reach. It's a no-brainer.

Sell on Walmart.com and get the same advantages as Tineco, like:

• A network of millions of customers
• Innovative programs that help you scale
• Walmart’s omnichannel advantage

And if you join now, you’ll save up to 50% on referral and fulfillment fees.*

4. The Toast 🥪

He built a simple tool that makes $100K/year

So this guy was a freelance developer for over 10 years.

But he barely scraped by and never got around to starting his own thing.

Then a few years ago, he finally said f*ck it and started building his own SaaS.

He saw a tool taking off and built a simple API for it.

In 2 weeks, he had a fully working product and within a few days he had paying customers.

Now he makes over $100K/year!

Another good one for you solo builders

5. The Pancakes 🥞

This side project makes over $90K/year

The biggest thing standing between you and your dream business is your lack of FOCUS.

And this founder felt the exact same way.

The only problem? He couldn’t find anything that worked for him…

So with just $200 bucks, he built a tool on the side to block distracting websites.

He shared his idea all over the internet and found customers who shared his problem.

Today he makes $90K/year with 0 employees and 95% profit margins.

This is the ideal solo founder business.

That's it!

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