Answer 1

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:

I also posted some article links in the source box.

A great business (one that I am in) is CONSULTING. Many consultants charge $30-$120 an hour and work 20-30 hours a week.

The best way to start is study something unique and valuable in the business world or elsewhere. Examples:

-Book publishing (publicity consultants make lots of money)
-customer service work (train employees to be better)
-Airport construction (escalator locations, etc.)
-Creativity consultant (help businesses with product design)

The best way to start is check out books from the library about becoming a consultant. Many consultants average $50,000-$80,000 a year.

Answer 4

I think your best bet at the thinking stage would be to ask yourself some personal questions. What am I good at? What do I like to do? If I didn't need the money what work would I do for free? That type of thing. Also visit www.inc.com they have tons of free articles about possible business ideas as well as an "I did it" series of people that started and maintained businesses.

Best of luck to you,

You need to first identify your passions and interests. Starting a business requires hard work and time so you need to be sure you truly enjoy what you're doing in order to stay motivated.

Personally, I prefer online businesses as you can reach out to a wider audience and it requires little start up costs as compared to a traditional offline business. To find out more about starting an online business, you can check out http://7WaysToEarnMoneyOnline.com/success.htm
