So I was thinking of starting a YouTube channel but from the book the fastlane mj says you should start something where you are the driver and fully in control, my question is should I start a YouTube channel or should I start something like a website or product online where I am fully in control

The fastlane is one of the best business books I've read straight to the point, no sugar coating!

Have you given a thought to less popular ideas that are very profitable now?

Wedding photography and Funeral Service are two of them.

Aging population (baby boomers) is a big theme and big business demand in the developed world. Any form of eldercare service would be a good potential business.

First find a problem that is worth solving, then you can think about how you'll solve it.

You're trying to find solution first ... "I'm going to start a SaaS or a website.... doing what, I'm not sure yet..."

VS

"I'm going to try to solve X problem, and I believe the best way to solve this problem and impact the most people would be through X solution ..."

While you have viewers, customers, etc., you can't be fully in control, but it still doesn't mean you should refuse your dreams and goals.
If you want to start something, let it be smth you really enjoy doing and you feel it will be so for many many years ahead.
Good luck!

So then the question becomes; "How do I find problems worth solving?"

You need to speak with your customers and find out their biggest frustrations are in a given niche (you should select a niche based on market size - you don't want to go after super small niches with like only 1000 people).

Here are some links you might find useful.

Hey Hamoude, there is nothing wrong with starting a youtube channel. However, it should not be the ONLY source of leads/audience/prospects that you have, since its a platform thats not under your direct control.
