1. The Simple Biz ($360K/year)

John Wilker, founder of The Simple Biz, came up with the idea for his wooden pallet recycling business in 1998 when his partner suggested they pick up pallets in lieu of their canceled home remodeling job. After realizing he could acquire pallets for free and sell them directly to buyers for a higher profit, Wilker took it upon himself to navigate and solve all the issues that came with the business model. Today, he not only runs his successful pallet business but also teaches others how to start their own through his training course, THE SIMPLEST BIZ.
