Find out what you like to do. Set up a list with your strengths & weaknesses. My experience has been, that people who turn their hobby (passion, interest) into their job (SOMEHOW), are generally more apt to be successful.

If this involves investing is a completely different question. If your hobby is hot-air ballooning, for example, you will probably have to buy one. NOW comes the hard part: HOW. Advertising on the balloon? Leasing out people's balloon's when they're not using them? Renting them yourself and adding a "tour" element to it (your expertise, of course). Offering this in the foreign language that you are proficient at?

I think you get the point. There is lots of literuature for this topic. I just read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Before you Quit Your Job". Check it out.

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?

By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.

I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:

* 101 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home by Susan Sweeney
* The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century by Paul Edwards
* Selling Online: How to Become a Successful E-Commerce Merchant by Jim Carroll
* I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It by Barbara Sher
* I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work by Julie Jansen
* The Best Internet Businesses You Can Start by Marian Betancourt
* The Shoestring Entrepreneur's Guide to Internet Start-Ups by Robert Spiegel
* Making a Living Without a Job : Winning Ways For Creating Work That You Love by Barbara Winter

I also posted some article links in the source box.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
