If you want to sell products, get a loan. There are also websites that will help you start up a business by essentially loaning you goods that you sell and pay them back for.
Otherwise, sell a service. What do you do well? Can you figure out a scheme for selling it? (Assuming that whatever you do well is legal.)
A few years ago, when things were tough, I started a cleaning busines because it was the one thing I could do with no startup costs--almost. Actually, I had to pay Kinko's to make some leaflets, pay for some gas, and feed myself enough calories to keep working.
Other services with low startups involve tutoring or teaching. What can you do so well that you could teach it to others?
If you can't answer that question, talk to your friends and family. They may see things in a new and different way.
For reams of information on starting a small business, Google the website for the Small Business Administration.

Fake it ! Seriously, that is why we play as children. Well, at least until someone programs us to think differently
Have fun ! The more you enjoy, the more you will want to enjoy. In short order a whole slough of non-physical beings will start helping you to discover more and more and then you will have all the products to sell you can dream of. If you don't believe this, ask the ten richest men in the world how they got started. If you can't manage that, then read either "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill or The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
See you round the conner! Cheers!

You need to find investors first before you get products to sell. How much your investors invest on you and you making products, depends on how big you want your business to grow.
If you are wanting to think of a product to sell, then think about your talents. What is it you love to do? If you love to read, maybe start a publishing company. If you love sports, maybe start a company that specializes in sporting equipment. There are tons of ideas, but when it comes down to it, the most important factors are getting those investors and creating a business plan.

Depends on what you can and what you want to do. Business is not limited to selling products. There is also the possibility of selling services. ranging from cleaning to consultancy. You just have to find the right niche of the market.

Figure out what kind of products you want to sell. Find a supplier. Find out what they will charge you, then sell it for a 10 to 35% markup. Most will actually let you sell it, then you collect the money send them their part and they will ship it to the customer for you. Pocket the differance, retire wealthy and smug. Good luck.

do you have any skills like piano or guitar or the like?
Ask some friends what they do not have time to do?
Can you cook? Start a small catering business.
To start a business think of what you would do if money was not a problem, and then go and do that.
Most of all, make sure it is something you LOVE
