We all know what it takes to start a business. It takes courage, vision, hardwork, sleepless nights to make an impact in this big world. One big problem is funding. Even if you have everything to become the next billion dollar company, you have to start somewhere. If you have like $ 100 Million, everything is easy for you, but if you dont have that much, its a little difficult. Remember the word, difficult, not impossible.
You can make it big for sure, but you have to start. Nothing legendary has ever been achieved by just thinking and sitting at home thinking about it.
Here is a list of small business ideas you can consider for your next business. Please note, that I dont want you to go through this list as per my words. Use your experience, your your vision and understanding of the subject and then proceed. All I want you is to start somewhere. Work hard, make it happen!
#1 Freelancing , do it priced per gig
All you need is to have one skill to pull this off. You can do it, only if you have a skill that people need.
The world is changing its path from monthly payments to employees to gig economy. Its almost certain that there will be no permanent employment in most organizations and it will mostly be payments per gig.
So why not your freelancing journey now ? Learn a skill , make a profile at places where they search for skilled person for a gig and make it happen. You can start this almost immediately.
#2 Be a handyman!
Almost everyone is using internet and they are searching for stuff that they need immediately.
People want things to get done and now its all done over the internet. I am not sure how long this will continue, but I am almost certain that people want help all around them all the time. A Handyman is a person who can help in small tasks, like renovating or painting . This work is no more different than freelancing, but handyman does as per instructions by the service seeker. Freelancer delivers the final product as per the specifications.
#3 Offer a Personal Training
Offering your expertise on the training front is something that you can start immediately. Of course you will have to wait to earn millions, but you can earn a decent amount almost immediately.
Offer them your experience or expertise regarding nutrition, exercise schedules, consultations etc. There is no reason that people will not come to you. People want to have something better in their life and for this , they need to hear from experts. Be the expert they want to hear from .
Make social media profiles , put quotes and data related to your field and boom, you will rock !
#4 Offer Bed n’ Breakfast
Its a really new thing for many, but with the startups such as airbnb, this concept has reached almost everyone.
In this type of business, if you are good at providing service, the success is guaranteed. All you need is a physical location in an area, where tourists or travelers visit often. It will be useless to start such a business at a place where tourist footfall is less than average.
You need some support staff, a website and superior service attitude. However, you will need some money to pull it off. You can seek that money in the form of your startup fund.
#5 Food trucks are the future
Believe it or not, food trucks are the future. More and more people are investing and starting their own food truck business. The reason being, its cool!
Starting a food truck business is a real hot thing right now. People are actually leaving their jobs and starting this business all around the place. For the people from rich countries, food truck is already a well known concept, while for people from not so rich countries, food trucks are now gaining the momentum.
All you need to start a food truck is , a truck, some permits &licenses (as per the place of operations) and an attitude to win.
Generally, if you start with a rental truck, you need to have about $ 5,000 which is alright for many. If you want to start with your own truck, you need spend anywhere between $ 20,000 to $ 30,000 which is still fine by the amount of money you could be earning in some time. This is a real deal by the way!
