Just need a spotless record, credit report, tax history, a incredible initial investment and a potential competitive market of members already interconnected. And I'd bet start up costs are through the roof. Not to mention the gray area of Federal Law. At least we finally will be forced to get an answer on whether enforcement of specific drug policies is up to the Fesd or the States now that CO/WA have gone to legal. I gotta think a ton of other states look at the dollars and see that it makes sense. I might go to Oregon to network.Am i the only one thinking about moving out to CO or WA and starting something in the newly-promulgated hemp/cannabis industry?
I want to try my shot at a clothing brand, starting with t-shirts. I have about 5-6 ideas to start with.... unfortunately I can't draw to save my life and everyone I've tried to work with who can draw/design has shown zero initiative. I still have the full brand already planned out.... some day
Repairing iPhone screens can be profitable depending on the area but the newer phones are hard to replace. I have a laptop screen repair site that does OK, the demand is there but lately I've slacked on promotion.
depending on the amount of these businesses around, you can really make a killing doing something like this. I did it myself, for friends and family for a while...then i ended up breaking a microphone on an iphone that i couldn't repair and that was the end of it for me. i'd do it again, though, if i made the time...
it's amazing that apple can charge like $60+ to replace a battery when you can buy the damn thing yourself for less than a dollar and do it yourself in less than a half hour. they've mystified the process so ppl are terrified of doing things themselves.
OP started this thread to take business ideas. I know what you're doing. Haha.
Graduating college soon, going to open up a maid cleaning service. Starting in Connecticut. Goal is to spread them out in the suburbs of the tri-state area and some parts of south Florida.
Drugs?Really looking into a food truck, even though there are a TON of trucks here in NYC not too many sell what I would be selling.
Designing iPhone cases
haha, I've only seen 1 food truck sell what I would like to sell and I'm sure I can do it better.Drugs?
great advice DCGood stuff everyone. Dont ever let the next dude tell you that you cannot do something. On your way to success... there are going to be people.. INCLUDING people you really care about, tell you that you cannot do something. Don't let those people slow you down. Bottom line, if there's a will, there's a way.
Now, IMO, the best way to be successful is to create a BRAND. Not a business, not a service, but a brand. You can go all over the WORLD and see the swoosh, the 3 stripes, the golden arches, the yellow smiley face... and EVERYONE knows that's Nike, Adidas, McDs, and Walmart without having said anything. Those things market themselves. They have made their brand so recognizable that most of them are in everyday language.
Thats what you should all strive to create. (I say this in a respectful way)... Everyone can come up with shirt ideas... but when THE HUNDREDS puts their little bomb on the SAME shirt idea you just had, they will move 50,000 units and you might move 100... simply because they have branded the little bomb. Its the bomb that sells, NOT the shirt. Same with iPhone cases.. bars, restaurants, etc. you have to TRY your best to create a brand... and most things become easier.
I know there are different views, different approaches, different markets, supply and demand.. etc.. that can also help the business be successful... but those places end up moving in one direction.. and that is trying to create an identity for themselves... or brand themselves.
ANyone else have good ideas.. ? anyone else have success stories? I'd like to hear more.
Word of advice please don't do business with friends unless they have equal or greater passion, knowledge, and resources.
Funny thing is we all know have "warning signs" but ignore them and hope for the best. Please don't do that. Keep your $ and business away from your personal life if possible.
I used to have a hookah lounge with my boy ran it successfully for about six months until an unfortunate event so we shut it down
my boy went off into the auto business and I went into eCommerce
