  • Reilly Chase

  • Founder of HostiFi
  • $95,000 monthly revenue

Reilly Chase tweets how he was fired from a job that paid him $95,000 a year. Apparently they fired him for working on his side project, HostiFi.

That side project now generates $95,000 every month 💰

Reilly credits β€œThe Meat Grinder Approach” with helping him come up with the idea for HostiFi.

The secret to coming up with a successful business idea is putting hundreds of ideas through the meat grinder.

The meat grinder is a series of tough questions, such as:

  • Can I make this?
  • Are people currently spending money on it?
  • How will I get the first 25 customers? Then the next 250?
  • If it works, will it be sustainable?
  • Am I the person to build this business?
