Thinking of a new business idea - when you want to do something fresh!

[thedol]

Hey guys - when your thinking of what to do next, like what is your calling - what is the thing that you want to pursue as a business.

The first thing you get into - even the second might not be the thing you were wanting to do or you lost interest in it.

For example - I've been doing freelance web/graphic design for like 4 years now and it's good, for some extra pocket money on the side but it's not what I find so much joy in at the same time.

That's one think I still do - I tried to launch a second business idea a few months back which didn't work out so now I'm thinking of my next one.

When I think of ideas = I think what I want to do, my interests and things I know stuff for, what maybe I'm good at and try to put them together to think of an idea or business opportunity.

For me, I've always had this "gift" where I am good at organizing things for other people. Like be it parties or small gatherings, I'm a good organizer...not necesarrily a host but definetely I can find out alot of things and give people what they want.

Also I'm pretty good when it comes to presenting things - hence the whole web/graphic design business I've been doing for a while

Now I'm trying to think of something I can do or create or even invest in - to build on something. I need something to work on...I have a normal day job where I work as a graphic designer, 9-5 but I need something on the side I can work on and work towards with a goal in mind.

I was thinking of trying to find some warehouse or even unused building block somewhere which maybe if I can't buy...(I've got like $10k to use for investment money)...then maybe on every Friday or something I can rent and then do it up with sound systems etc and try and get something going. Not a disco but something more unique like a stand up music contest or something for people to enjoy.

I'm mixing with thoughts and ideas because I need to think of something - as mentioned I need a goal

Any thoughts or tips on this

Focus on EXACTLY what you want.

Then concern yourself with -

Legal duties.

Financial duties.

Otherwise, sounds like you have a game plan in your head. Develop it. Profit. Give me free drinks.

But you're going to need more capital than $10k. Find a couple of reliable, 750+ FICO partners OR if you can, take a loan out.

sounds like you may enjoy business managment

growing marijuana is a good continuous project with high earning potential

but seriously...

I have started a few small business and lemme tell you straight up

the key to success in business is managment ability

u know about graphic design but y h0re your skills out when you can h0re other peoples skill...try to establish some serious clientel through advertising and start hiring people on a per project lump sum basis to cover ur azz

you said you like managing...so manage a graphic design company instead of just working at one
