You're asking the wrong question.
For your success to be probable you need an "unfair" advantage.
What is unique about your abilities, your resources, your network, your specialized knowledge that would give you an unfair advantage in ___?
Don't copy someone else. Know yourself, and start from there.
Competitive advantage not unfair. There's no such thing as fair in competition, as long as you're ethical.
I believe there's a stat that 80% of businesses are started by people leaving their job and doing the same thing themselves. Construction, auto sales type businesses come to mind. They learn how the industry works then just build it themselves.
I always look for businesses that give me a competitive advantage. Usually something that I have another business in a similar industry and the businesses can use eachother and both save money.
That's why it was in quotes mate...
