If I start a business, what should I sell?
 

I was thinking about getting a job, but I've always wanted to have my own small business (or one day a large business). I have thought about some things to sell, like hats or t-shirts, but I just think that would lead to almost nowhere. Maybe not, but I need some suggestions. If some idea comes up that is good enough to try and market, i might just try to do it.

I have thought of starting a moving company, since the one I work for is completely bass ackwards. But that would require hiring workers, which would be a huge first step. Maybe something smaller.

Any ideas?

Tinting cars? What about a small cleaning business?

Word, what type of cleaning? like, clean houses? Maid style? Carpet cleaning?

Think of what you enjoy and try to do that. Find something you are excited or passionate about. People can always tell when you are doing it just to do it. What ever you do sell, believe in it. If you do, it won't be selling at all. Good Luck!

I like getting things done efficiently, and working on cars, but I don't want cars to be my business. I'm a pretty good mover, and I really hate the way they do it at my company now. I could start a company of my own, just rent a truck and do jobs untill I have enough dough to buy a truck. That's the physical labor way. I would really like to do something that's not too labor intensive. Since I want to be able to walk when I get past 60.

I know what you mean about physical labor. My back isn't like it used to be. Hmmm, how about a courier service. Efficiency and moving combined. You can limit the size based on the vehicle. If you are self employed the only real start up costs would be commercial vehicle insurance.

I think the best is to do a small office type enviroment. One that can take you 1-3 hours to clean. Pick one contact first than move onto two and three and so on. I would not do something I enjoy because I can get burnt out. I used to love car stereo. Work as an installer for one year and did not even want to touch my car because I was so burnt out.

Re: If I start a business, what should I sell?
 

Maybe the car stereo burn out was from only sticking to the installs and not expanding it or; it turned out to be a temporary interest. Without growth and goals everything turns to burn out.

Yeah. I could get into the car business and start a little dealership. Mod the cars a bit and resell them for the price, plus mods, plus a bit. It could work, maybe in minneapolis, not here in fartgo.

What ever you do dont read the same books Huml has......

Haha LOL

Buy a couple decent sized trucks, and hire a couple joes and start moving people locally. Then when you've established your business, buy a couple big rigs and do cross-country transport, maybe even transport exotic cars :)

There is a decent call for hauling Ebay cars. You can become one of their preferred vendors and they will recommend you.

Hey if you are really stuck on what you could do... Sex always is a good seller!

I call first in line!

Andrew, you better give me a discount.

Re: If I start a business, what should I sell?
 

Eww! lol. There's this little barrier in the near future called school. I'm afraid I wouldn't have enough money to start something big within a year or so. Maybe some bead neclaces or some stuff.. I'm running out of ideas, I might just get a part time job while I'm in school. Moorhead sucks though because 10 bucks an hour is considered pretty good. No one ever move here.

Re: If I start a business, what should I sell?
 

You could print up some of your own designs on T-shirts and sell them at events or Flea Markets; or out of your trunk. Sell them at your school maybe. Relatively cheap to do. Have them come coordinated with bead necklaces as bonus to set your self apart.

Yeah, I know those are pretty cheap to get started. Thanks for the ideas!
