I want to run my own business more than anything but I don't

If you can't even think of an idea for a business, what chance have you got running one?

>>1143778

Have you considered internet kiosks? It will be the future!

Honestly, just look at an area you want to have a business, compare other similar areas and see what it missing.

you could make a pharma company for something that already exists that a lot of people need like iron or inhalers.

not op but should I just kill myself I can't think of a single idea for business and im suffering from crippling depression

Anything that you spend money on involves some sort of business.

One of the huge perks to running a small business is writing off your favorite (most-expensive) hobby as a cost of business.

Because you should keep your day job anyways until your income from your business is close enough to make the jump.

Not all business ideas have to be new, just "new" or even better in some way. These guys twomenandatruck.ca Live down the street from me, they started by buying a truck and working around town. Basically you have to be willing to work lower then minimal wage to start a foothold to be noticed, then as more people use your service you slowly increase your amounts. Then if you grow past a point where you need more people to take on the work load, you simply hire to meet your needs.

I'm going to melt down metal and make cannon balls out of it. I have an insider tip that cannon style navy battles are going to make a comeback.

I'm stealing your idea except I'm going to make those two cannonballs connected by a chain to fuck up the crew more

> to fuck up the crew more

Yeah, but what about several smaller pairs of cannonballs connected with chains for a better anti-personal effect?

kind of off topic, but is there any point in going to college for a business/finance based degree if my goal is to start my own business?

I've had a lot of work experience in the financial sector and i'd probably kill myself if I had a desk job.

If you understand basically how making money works then you don't have to. Will it help? This depends on your confidence level. I've played Eve Online fore 3 years and successfully raised a corporation, managed spreadsheets, organized manpower and directed finances. Could I use this in a resume in real life? No, but I do see it as valuable experience that I can apply to the real world.

you don't have to have a stellar idea to start a business, execution is far more important.

I mean, how many plumbers, roofers, electricians etc are there out there? That doesn't stop anyone from going out on their own and making a living.

Stop worrying so much about having a great idea if you don't have the means to properly execute it, focus on learning on how to run a business first.

Mine got stolen twice at the bank, once at some government funded loan company that 'helps' start-ups.

Two of my ideas have been worked out and are making about 1/10th I was planning on making.

>+/- €370K profit a year.

Am developing a new version over the last few years, will blow these fucks out of the water including a big phat lawsuit since one of the bankers has acknowledged what they did on paper for me for some money (coke addict :-)).

So in short, the shit's at the bank(s).

But, do not underestimate people. They might come back harder than you could ever imagine.

What about taking the chains off the cannonballs completely, and making a hollow cannonball full of little round metal pieces...Perhaps I could call is a shotrifle.

every rich person I know took their idea from the company they worked for and started there own.

My current boss does the exact same thing as his old employer, he even bought out their inventory when they went bankrupt. My cousin worked for a large corp and just took one of their sectors and partnered up with a coworker and they do it much better than the large corp.

>My cousin is buying a cessna citation this year for business/personal

Anyways just go work for some successful small businesses for a year and make contacts and just do it yourself. That is pretty much the tool and fastener industry in a nutshell.
