1. The Consumption Rule: Start with What You Know
Many people ask me,
"What should I sell to ensure it actually sells?" After nearly 8 years in the financial markets and starting various ventures, I’ve realized that business success isn't a guessing game—it’s a formula. If you are ready to build a
brand that lasts, follow this blueprint.
1. The Consumption Rule: Start with Your Own Habits
The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to sell something they don't understand. If you’re confused about what to sell, pick up a pen and paper. Look at what you consume daily.
Are you a fan of high-quality perfumes? Are you obsessed with gym gear or specific electronics? When you sell what you already use, you naturally understand the
quality and the customer's needs.
2. Why Businesses Fail: Analyzing My Journey
I’ve started many
businesses. Not all of them reached the top, and I took the time to ask
why. If a business fails, it’s usually because:
- Wrong Product/Audience: You’re selling to people who don't need it.
- Pricing Issues: Your price is either too high for the value or too low to be sustainable.
- Quality Gaps: If the quality isn't there, the customer won't come back.
3. Don’t Fear Competition—Study It
People often say, "I won't start this because there are too many competitors." This is the wrong mindset. Competition is proof of demand.
If you want to enter a market like Home Appliances (e.g., Air Conditioners), look at
industry leaders like
Daikin. Don't just watch them—study them. Visit their websites, analyze their cooling efficiency,
energy savings, and customer service. Find the flaws they are missing and fix them in your product.

business ideas powered by
modern machinery:- Coffee & Drink Printers: Attract crowds to your cafe by printing custom portraits on foam.
- 3D Printing Services: Manufacture rare car parts or custom industrial tools.
- Automatic Oil Press: Meet the massive demand for pure, organic oils at home.
- Laser Engravers: Create high-end personalized jewelry or home decor.
5. The 30-40% Investment Rule
Whether your budget is 50,000 Riyals or $5,000, never invest 100% at once. Invest
30% to 40% initially to test the waters. Keep the rest as a
Backup Fund. You will need this backup to seize new
opportunities or to pivot if your first strategy needs adjustment.
6. The "Heavy Heart" Phase: The Real Test
At the start, you will be full of energy. But after a few months, when challenges arise, your heart might grow heavy. You might feel like quitting. This is the exact moment your business starts to grow. This phase is a test to see if you are worthy of success. If you stay consistent and push through, that is when you become a true entrepreneur.
Final Thought
Allah has given everyone a brain. The person who built a billion-dollar empire has the same intellect as you. The only difference is how you direct that energy. Don't be afraid of the giants; learn from them, improve their flaws, and build your own path on Profit Pips.
Your journey from a single idea to a profitable empire starts with one disciplined step. Build your legacy with Profit Pips.
