Hmmm don't have any ideas for you but i have a story that might inspire you.
Enjo microfibre cleaning cloths were invented by a guy in Austria about 12 years ago. They work by trapping dust and dirt in the microfibres, and they don't require any chemicals at all to clean. They are marketed as being environmentally friendly, convenient and effective at cleaning all surfaces.
Now, an Austrian woman emigrated to Australia about 7/8 years ago. About 5 years ago, she decided to start up an Enjo franchise selling the microfibre cloths in Australia through Enjo parties (like Tupperware parties).
She started with a $40,000 investment, and now 5 years later, the company sells $100 million worth of Enjo cleaning cloths a year, only through Enjo parties, and she is worth about $60 million !!!!!
You can achieve success if you find a good idea and follow your dreams. |

Ha, the neigborhood I work out in has these kids that do it. Everyone hires them too. Helps me out as well.
As for me, I started a little lawn business last year, now I have 45 clients. I could get more, I just consider school into the equation. As for the future I need a partner to run it during my school time and help me out so I can double my workload. Hopefully by next spring it will be a 100K/year job. Then hiring crews and so on and so forth. I think its the best thing to get into. No matter what, people need their lawns mowed. Next on the list is landscaping and sprinkler systems. Oh yeah, I will be a millionaire by the age of 30.

| so i was thinking about this idea, everybody loves music, some people are addicted you could say. What can I do though when the people are widespread around the world ? then it hit me, trance and addiction.... tranceaddict, not sure if it'll take off but we'll be the web's biggest trance board, with big & small named stars signed up, lots of people, and a percentage of s too to even it all out... anyone think it'll work ? |

Hehe, you only hear success stories when you talk about starting your own business. but I know a few more failure stories than success.
but I guess the ol saying that says something like you don't succeed unless you try comes in here.
just always have a backup plan. |

people in south florida are so wrapped up in their cars but are too lazy to get their hands dirty to wash it...or they might actually break a sweat doing it...so i've thought of starting a car wash that has hot chicks in hooters type outfits washing them.
there are a lot of places that detail cars, and down here, you can never have too many...especially ones with babes washing them:) |
