Here’s where it gets interesting. The fastest path usually involves selling something that doesn’t cost you much to make more of. Think a digital product, a software tool, or even a popular online course. You do the work once, and sell it a thousand times.
For example, imagine you build a simple app that helps people track their cat’s mood. (Don’t laugh, people love their cats). If you sell it for £10, you only need 100,000 users. Big number, but the internet is a mega-city of 5 billion people.
Or you build a £1,000 online course on "How to Make Perfect Sourdough." You only need 1,000 students. Suddenly, that million feels a lot closer, doesn’t it?
But Wait… What Do I Sell?
That’s the million-pound question. Look at your weird hobbies. Obsessed with vintage watches? Create a newsletter about them. Love spreadsheets? Teach people how to organize their lives with Excel. The market rewards obsession.
