Starter Story - This AI app makes $215K PER MONTH

Hey it’s Pat,

This week I got into a little back n’ forth on Twitter (which I really try not to do), but something really hit a nerve.

As you know, I’m always pushing people to do deep work and get sh*t done.

But every time I post about it, someone says, “but Pat you need to work on the *right things.”

Ugh.

Here’s my position:

It's an estimate, but probably 80% of my deep work was spent on the "wrong things.” Tasks that were not important or projects that didn't pan out.

But all that matters is that I get 20% right, which is just a function of showing up every day and being able to look back critically, and adapt.

Yes, I have seen instances where people get so much tunnel vision that they work on the wrong thing for YEARS.

But I think most people are actually smart. And they learn how to adapt to what is/isn't working.

Consistency is the first step to greatness – even if it's working on the “wrong” things.

The right things are never clear and can only be learned through doing the wrong things.

(If it was clear, then everyone would achieve everything they wanted immediately)

So today: just get to work.

Maybe it’s the right thing. Maybe it’s the wrong thing. I don’t know.

But most people don’t do anything. And that’s the true failure.

Excited to see what you build.

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

4. The Toast 🥪

From $13K/year side project to $13K MRR

This guy was a digital nomad working on a bunch of side projects.

One day, some friends told him about a specific problem they had with payments.

So he decided to build a simple saas to solve it.

He launched on Product Hunt and got 100s of sign ups on day 1.

In a few months he hit $1K MRR.

Today?

$13K MRR and ALL-IN.

Read this case study from the early days!

5. The Pancakes 🥞

Check out this smart $13K MRR micro-saas

I always say that you can build a saas in any industry…

And here’s yet another example.

He was a content creator and knew the exact problems every content creator dealt with.

So he decided to build what he thought would be a small side project.

But after a few months… it turned into a full-blown business!

See how he did it!

That's it!

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