With that’s said they’re not technically saas (recurring payments for software service) but rather just various businesses in industries across the board
the most money is made doing the mundane from what I've found. The industries that aren't glamorous.
Also, my friend group, all entrepreneurs, have similar results.
I don't know this guy... and if you can get get over his unpleasant "guru" angle... go look at the creator of RemoteOK. He repeatedly creates businesses that succeed over and over, using the same formula.
A FOAF made millions (maybe 10's of millions) importing/exporting heavy machinery with basically nothing more than a phone.
You have to know where to look, and what trends to pick up on, and after that it seems quite easy, albeit hard to explain as a process. Or something I could repeat on command. It's very timing dependent, dependent on consistent trial and error, and you need to be surrounded by people who are on the same page where you can work together very quickly when you see something that might be a success.
Would you be able to share an example of what were those industries/businesses, perhaps ideas that you already pursued and moved on from?
I too feel the people who attribute such successes to luck are missing something.
I’ve had people tell me that a lot of the things I achieved professionally in life (being able to successfully immigrate to the US from another country, get tech jobs in Silicon Valley including Google, get out-of-band compensation, work as an early employee at a unicorn, etc) were due to pure luck, but I don’t believe it. I see so many people around me who followed the same path, and it was perhaps 80% determination and 20% luck.
There is an entire world 99% of people aren't aware of. I'm grateful my eyes were opened to this world many years ago. I have never taken outside funding, I don't deal with investors, I don't deal with other partners. Just the same business partner I have had for 10 years. I've probably started over 100 projects at this point.
