Sam Parr’s list of business Ideas he’s tried
Published on
This image is Sam Parr’s brain on paper. In the middle: one guy in a blue sweater. Around him: a spiderweb of tiny projects, experiments, and businesses that eventually turned into a media empire. You’re not looking at “one big idea” — you’re looking at a decade of itch-scratching that snowballed into The Hustle, Trends, My First Million, and more.
How to copy this one-person empire model
Use the image as your roadmap: put yourself in the center and draw ten small, testable projects around your head. Aim for fast launches that either make $1 or teach you one new skill. Double down only on the ones that attract attention or revenue, then layer on media: a simple blog, a newsletter, a tiny event, a podcast. Over a few years, your doodle of random projects can turn into a focused media business the same way Sam’s did.
What the graphic quietly teaches you
- Every line from Sam Parr’s head is a specific project: from sports gear reselling and an online whiskey store to copywriting classes and Hustle Con.
- Most of the left side are scrappy, small bets (book accountability program, roommate parties, Craigslist template) that built skills and an audience.
- The right side shows the hits that compounded: The Hustle blog, newsletter, events, Trends, My First Million, and finally Hampton.
- The visual proves the empire came from relentless iteration, not one genius idea — lots of shots on goal, one person driving.
