Anyone who can read what troubles others, and go meet it, can succeed today.

Since 2007, together with colleagues and partners, I've started twelve businesses; we've sold five and still look after the rest. Nearly all of them began the same way: someone was missing something and we couldn't leave it alone. It's not rocket science. This site shows how it's done.

Nine examples

Pick what troubles people. I'll show you how someone went to meet it.

None of these needed capital, a team or a special gift. Someone noticed a need and took the first step. The tenth button is for the need you can see.

Nine buttons show a need someone went to meet. The tenth is for the one you can see.

Why right now

What used to take a team now takes one person at a computer.

The barrier is no longer capital, a team or technology. What's left is noticing what someone is missing and giving it a go.

What a team used to do, agents do now.

Accounting, contracts, the website, marketing, customer support, data. Every one of those roles can now be handled by an AI agent you tell what's needed and whose work you check. You don't need an office, a developer or anyone's permission.

It isn't about programming.

I can't code myself, and yet everything you see here was made at one computer. It's enough to say what people need and to know when it's done. Anyone who has ever helped someone with something can do that.

Learning it takes weeks, not years.

What I've learned I pass on in Master of Machines (Vládce strojů, in Czech) to people who want their own tool and don't want to wait for someone to build it. I won't teach you to get rich quick there. Building something that helps people, yes.

How to

Three steps anyone can take. The fourth is actually taking them.

  1. Listen.

    Notice what troubles the people around you, what they do by hand while cursing, what they wish were different. There are plenty of ideas around. You just have to listen and take what you hear seriously.

  2. Meet the need with the smallest possible thing.

    Not a platform. One page, one service, one person it helps. If it helps one, it will help a hundred. If it doesn't, you lost a week, not a year.

  3. Let people pay you for it, and don't be shy about it.

    When you save someone time or worry, that has value. Money is how you know you read the need correctly, and how you keep going. A business that doesn't make money is a hobby; that's fine too, just admit it.

It won't work the first time, and that's fine.

It didn't for me either, more than once. An idea that didn't work isn't a disgrace. It's a message that you read the need wrong. Read it again and try differently. The only pity is seeing what people are missing and not giving it a try.

Different fields, the same thing every time: someone needed something and got met halfway. Behind each one are colleagues and partners it couldn't have happened without.

Writing and teaching

What I used to explain to estate agents over coffee, I now write in books and lecture to students.

I have been an attorney since 2012 and started in 2008 as a trainee at Deloitte. Since 2018 I have led a twenty-person real estate team at the ARROWS law firm.

Contact

I answer myself, which is both an advantage and a risk.

Can you see what people are missing and don't know where to start? Write to me; I'm happy to help think through the first step. Partnerships, media and talks too. Be specific: what you want, when, and what you expect from it. "Let's grab a coffee sometime" is a message too, I just answer it more slowly. Usually within two working days.

What this contact is not for

  • Legal services. I'm a lawyer at ARROWS, but not here. Legal matters go there; they even have a reception desk.
  • Buying, selling or renting a flat. That's Power Couple. I'd sell you a flat too, just worse and slower.
  • App support (Rentcare, BedCare, MůjPodpis, the academy). Each has its own. I'm the slowest one.
