I Discovered the Best Businesses to Start in 2026

These are the best businesses you can start in 2024. Warren Buffett says great businesses have high gross margin. So what is gross margin? Essentially, if I sell a product for $5, but it costs me $1 to make, then my gross margin is $4 or 80%. See the best businesses are ones where you have the highest margin, and then also sell for the highest dollar amount. What you don't want to be is like a restaurant where the gross margins are only 45%. You want to be on the upper end of 70, 80, even 90% gross margin. And to do this, you need to understand all the industries, and that's why I've spent a lot of time analyzing all the best industries and evaluating all the gross margins from lowest to highest that you can start today with very little experience to make this year the best year of your life. The first business is a product business. Typically these companies have 50 or 60% gross margin. Now I've been involved in some incredible product companies like Pela that does a biodegradable phone case, or Laundry Sauce which is a modern day detergent company, or Lomi that does a food composting device.

How to steal it
setting · outdoor city
- 01Hook (0-2s)
Open with the "best business model ranked reveal" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
- 02Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
- 03Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.
Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.
- 04Reaction / proof (9-13s)
Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.
Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.
Your version
Alex-voiced hooks3/3
Variant 1
I've built four revenue streams and only one paid for the GT3 RS.
Alex walks past the Porsche in the Brickell garage, then breaks down the margin profiles of product businesses vs. talent management vs. courses vs. ad-spend fees, ranking them from worst to best and revealing OVO's 25% management cut as the highest-margin model he runs.
Variant 2
The business model with 90% margins that nobody talks about starting.
Alex films face-to-camera at the Brickell penthouse window at night, contrasts low-margin businesses like restaurants and product companies with creator management economics, walks through how OVO keeps 25% of gross on Nike and Gymshark deals with almost zero cost of goods.
