In this short monologue, Dan Novaes describes a lucrative, low‑complexity local business: installing waterproof LED ground lighting in residential backyards. He explains that the service requires minimal upkeep for homeowners, offers a premium, Beverly‑Hills‑style aesthetic, and faces little competition.

Novaes emphasizes that the most successful businesses can be simple, provided the entrepreneur spots an underserved demand before others do.
