It doesn’t have to be an innovative business that solves a pain in the market place; it just has to be a business that can turn a healthy profit every year.

On the contrary, a business must solve a pain the market place, to become profitable and healthy.

But his example, a plumbing business, both solves a pain in the marketplace (people need their pipes fixed and plumbing installed) and is not at all innovative.

I think you have way more chances at being successful by copying something that already exist and being a competitor, than creating something totally new and trying to persuade people that it will fix their problems.
