I would like to quit my job and start a business but I can't think of anything?

Question

My dad recently inherited $500,000. He told me that if I wanted to start a business, he would help me out (not all of it, of course). I have been thinking about it alot lately and I just can't seem to come up with anything. I'm really sick and tired of working for "the man". Please help me out with ideas. I don't have the slightest clue but I'm young (29). I know I'll have regrets if I don't go for it. Thanks.

It would be in Ogden, Utah. Cost of living is low out here and so are wages.

Answer 1

♠ a Jew once told me, you must suffer from itch to start a busyness, you must want it like an emergency to p.i.s.s, else discard the idea or you gamble away!
♣ once I had been working for a “Big Man” like you. I quit. So I understand your feelings. Is your Dad in busyness? Ask him to hire you, and start learning from him.
♦ you are not a poor man and no family yet; so you may afford to be choosy to a certain rate to do what you like for a time being;

Answer 2

33% of Americans say they'd like to be self-employed.

The trick is that being successfully self-employed will require 80 hour (or longer) weeks. Perhaps not every week, and certainly some weeks, and quite possibly the most inconvenient ones.

In order for you to happily put in those 80+ hour weeks, you'd better be doing something you love. [If you're doing something you don't love, every customer will figure it out sooner or later and no one likes a surly supplier, so they'll find someone else.]

I suggest, therefore, that your question is really about yourself -- what do you love doing?

That's where you can start a business with some good chances.


It's up to you now.

Answer 3

Hi,

It's better if you start off with a home based business and expand as you grow. It's better to be slow and steady and online business will help you achieve it. You can visit http://homebiz.businessinfoguide.info for some useful tips related to your query. Good luck!

DON'T QUIT - NOT IN THIS ECONOMY!
No matter how much you hate your current job, hold onto it like a life raft.
