Here's the thing about opportunities - they're everywhere.
Every inefficiency you complain about.
Every "someone should build this" thought.
Every time you pay too much for something that should be simple.
Those are all businesses waiting to happen.
This week, we found five more.
And if you move fast, one of them could be yours by Friday.
But first, a quick update:

Price update: Juice Labs goes 3x on October 1st.
This isn't a marketing gimmick.
It's a filter for serious people.
Can't decide by then?
You're not ready anyway.
The Hit List

The money-making plays you scrolled past this week while doom-scrolling LinkedIn.
Five founders started these while you were still "validating" your idea.
They're cashing checks.
You're still making decks.
Here's what launched while you were stuck in analysis paralysis:
π€ Tiny Tools: Support Chat to AI Agent
Transform dead support conversations into custom-trained AI chatbots that handle 80% of common inquiries. Your client's support team costs $312K/year copying-pasting the same answers - mine their Zendesk graveyard and resurrect it as tireless AI agents. Charge $2,997/month per client, land 10 clients = $360K/year from your couch. One Portland guy built 3 bots last month during Netflix binges - now clears $8,991/month.
First move: Find SaaS founder crying about support costs on Twitter, build their bot overnight using public docs, close $997 beta deal before lunch.
π Hard Business: Rail-Profile Grinding Service
Mobile rail grinding equipment that services track wear for high-speed and heavy-freight lines. Every mile bleeds $47K/year from friction while companies blow $2.3M replacing tracks that just need smoothing. Show up at 2 AM with your grinding rig, resurface that metal, invoice $7,000/mile. There are 300 desperate shortline railroads - each needs you, none know you exist yet.
Money printer: One truck, three contracts, $420K first year. Lease equipment for $12K/month, subcontract to learn, then steal clients with 24/7 availability.
π 4-Hour Hustle: Slide Deck from Course Outlines
Convert educational outlines into polished presentation decks that actually convert. 73,000 course creators have brilliant content but PowerPoint skills of a drunk toddler - transform their bullet points into $100K launch decks in 48 hours for $3,500. Embed psychological triggers that double completion rates, become their "conversion optimization specialist." These professors would rather eat glass than learn Canva.
Tonight's $1,500: Lurk course creator Facebook groups, find someone launching Monday, offer first module free, close the rest at $1,500.
β΅ AI-Proof Business: Bespoke Sail-Maker
Custom sail design and fabrication for racing yachts, cruising catamarans, and traditional sailboats. Rich sailors drop $8,000 on factory sails that look like bedsheets, then another $8,000 because they're "too generic." Handcraft Instagram-worthy racing sails - each signed and numbered like yacht art. Start with $3,000 garage setup, end with waterfront workshop and $78K/month.
Wednesday winner: Hit yacht club race night, measure last-place boat, return with 5% speed improvement designs, collect $6,000 deposit before their second gin and tonic.
π₯ Fun to Run Business: Speakeasy Cocktail Workshop
Hidden bar experiences teaching craft cocktail techniques to corporate teams and private groups. Corporate Tim's $50K "team building" budget is yours - three nights weekly, secret location, prohibition recipes at $197/seat. Work Wednesday-Friday only, clear $118K/year teaching executives how to make proper Manhattans. Every guest gets a $3 recipe book they'll Instagram like it's worth $50.
CEO quick close: Email "Your team building sucks. Mine makes Old Fashioneds." Offer executive tasting, get $5,000 deposit before their Uber arrives.

I try to optimize for two things: Waking up energized and going to bed exhausted. The former means Iβm doing things I enjoy with people I love. The latter means I did those things to the fullest extent of my ability. Recipe for a good life.

You're not tired from building a business - you're tired from avoiding it.
Real founder exhaustion comes from cold calling 100 prospects, not tweaking your logo for the 50th time.
Stop confusing your 16-hour days of busy work with actual progress: if your Stripe dashboard isn't growing, you're just LARPing as an entrepreneur.
π° The only exhaustion that counts is from activities that directly generate customers and cash - everything else is expensive procrastination.

π Pick one idea from this email. Just one.
Then do ONE thing to test it:
Call one potential customer
Build one landing page
Send one cold email
Price one solution
That's it. One idea, one action, today.
π Keep pushing forward,
Mr. Juice
