Unlike Western culture, ancient Chinese thought has multiple words for luck — a linguistic precision that produces a more accurate map of reality. San Cai (Three Talents) separates luck into heaven luck (the birth lottery: country, family, era, traits), earth luck (the environment you navigate: city, industry, social network, partner), and human luck (day-to-day decision-making under uncertainty). The poker analogy crystallises all three: heaven luck is the cards you're dealt, earth luck is which table you sit at and where, and human luck is how skillfully you play your hand. Mark notes that professional poker players consider table selection the single most important decision in the game — a direct parallel to macro life choices like where to live or which industry to enter.
Bhanu grew SiteGPT to $13,000 monthly recurring revenue entirely through organic channels, spending nothing on paid marketing.
More than 1 million people have visited SiteGPT's website since launch in March 2023, all through organic channels.
Approximately 90% of SiteGPT's Google search traffic comes from the free tools Bhanu built, not the main product pages.
Bhanu sold his first SaaS product, Feather, for $250,000 so he could focus fully on the faster-growing SiteGPT.
SiteGPT has generated approximately $500,000 in total revenue since its launch in March 2023.
The average customer lifetime value for SiteGPT is approximately $1,700 to $1,800, which Bhanu considers unusually high.
SiteGPT receives around 50,000 visitors per month, of which about 200 convert to leads and 60 start free trials.
SiteGPT hit $10,000 MRR within its very first month of launch, driven largely by early traction in the AI chatbot space.
Despite strong download numbers, PropGPT could not push past $1,000–$2,000 MRR due to poor product retention.
