New Business Ideas 2020 (How to Start a Business Plan) | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam discusses what businesses he’d start today if beginning his career over, prioritizing work-life balance and non-tech sectors. He explains his preference for competing in unsexy, overlooked spaces like home services and construction, where he’d partner with existing operators, apply technology for efficiency, and build scalable models—contrasting this with the overcrowded businesses that successful founders typically enter.

Key takeaways

• Sam would target unglamorous industries like HVAC, pool services, and lawn care because they naturally repel wealthy founders seeking lifestyle businesses, reducing competition
• His strategy involves finding established small businesses with good systems and infrastructure, then applying technology and operational improvements to create geographic scalability
• Sam prioritizes operator involvement and building sustainable business models with defensible advantages over passive investing or ’trading paper,’ and emphasizes that a flawed foundational business won’t succeed regardless of effort
