Peace of mind business ideas (and why they print cash)

Yeah, when someone reaches out and they directly solve your problem in the most convenient way, you're like, yes, please, I'll totally sign up. And I feel like you could do that with this idea or similar spaces if you don't have the audience and you are like, okay, my revenue goal is this. I would just do more of that.

But it's like, I also feel like, and this might upset people, but I feel like sometimes people are not willing to go the extra mile and they like just put out the most basic shit and expect it to work. Like I'm hiring right now. And some of the applications I get in, I'm like, on what planet do you feel like this is a good application? Oh, I get some people reaching out, selling me stuff in my DMs.

And it's such a generic copy paste. I just think if you just went the extra mile, there's so few people willing to do that, you're going to stand out. And I think that's the approach you need to have, especially in the startup phase of a business.

How can I go the extra mile to really dial in my offer, make it completely irresistible, maybe do some of the things that aren't scalable, but it's going to attract the right people to me. It's going to give me feedback on my product and then you can scale that way. But I don't feel like a lot of people are willing to go the extra mile or I don't see it.

And I think you have to be willing to do that with any idea. And then you can pivot. You'll get great data, but yeah. I don't think it's hard to go the extra mile.
