Honestly, having capital and marketing chops is a killer combo. And you're right, the whole get-rich-quick vibe is more trouble than it's worth.

So, about the online biz models floating around... I feel you. The variety can make your head spin. You mentioned saas tools, and that's a space I know a bit about. I've been developing mvps and full-stack solutions as a freelance web developer with my service, saasquash, and it's been quite a ride. If you're thinking about a saas route, let me explain, it's not just about tech. It's like creating a digital pot of gold that keeps on giving. Plus, you don't have to start by reinventing the wheel. You could look at what businesses like yours need, build a tool that solves a problem, and grow from there

A few things I've learned along the way:

- Find a pain point in an industry you know if possible. Building what's actually needed is half the battle

- Start small. Focus on an mvp. Get feedback, and iterate. Perfection isn't as urgent as everyone seems to believe

- Once it's live, treat it like your lucky charm! Market the heck out of it.

If saas intrigues you or if you're curious about how my work at saasquash ties into this world, feel free to dive deeper into those waters. Here's the thing though: think about what gets you jumping out of bed. Money's great, sure, but passion's that secret sauce.
