I said how to start a sidehustle. Not how to grow a sidehustle (or business) into a unicorn. That is a lot more involved.
Your examples are a great way of starting all those things as well. Want a law? Write it, vote on it, boom. Law. Want a souffle? Mix ingredients, add heat. I've done souffles before, that's really all they are. Want to start making a car? Draw picture, order off-the-shelf components, assemble. (Watch OCC, this is how they make their famous choppers). Want to fix a tumor? Gotta know where it is and gotta open the skull. Cutting it out sounds like a great next step.
The part where a lot of people get tripped up on starting a business is that they instead start a hobby. It's not a business if people aren't paying for it. Yes even if you have thousands of users or app downloads.
