    If you wanted to see a business start

    If you wanted to see a business start ... What kind of business would it be..

    You can chose anything ..
    Phone Company - Auction house - Online Services - Magazine - Tv Station --- ANYTHING.

    Write your idea and what the company would offer.

    Who knows maybe some of us can join together and make the ideas real.

    My idea is to build a Gemstone Store Online.
    i will collect gemstones from all over the world and sell them to a fair price online.
    ofcorse i will also buy gemstones at my store. to sell to others.

    I think a great business to start these days is a self-storage facility. they're almost recession-proof.
    With the economy getting tight, people will be downsizing or even losing homes. They'll need a place to put their stuff.

    Re: If you wanted to see a business start


    I always wanted a restaurant, where I could cook up a storm and enjoy watching people eat my food... But my life time goal is to have a soup kitchen solely supported by myself and/or another company that I owned. Too much hassle and selfishness when other organizations get involved, I have personally seen this and it upsets me that organizations care more about their reputation than the hurts of their fellow man.

    Why not...you get all of the extremes...

    It would take an mortician at least 24 hours to get the smile off of your face...and you'd get an open casket ceremony assuming, of course, he can't get the casket closed (for obvious reasons)

    Re: If you wanted to see a business start

    I have always thought about a good ol' catfish restaurant. Thing is, this restaurant would be sitting right next to the catfish pond. Customers could buy already prepared catfish dinners or, they could have the option of catching their own dinner. Kids would love it. I could provide bait and poles for a nominal fee or they could bring their own. After they catch their dinner, the fish would be cleaned and prepared; doesn't get any fresher than that. Of course there would be homemade macaroni salad, potato salad, fries etc. to compliment dinner. No tacos, no steaks, no burgers; just catfish. If you wanted to catch fish just to take home and fix them yourself, that could be arranged also.

    You might be on to something P.B.! You add some cornbread to the menu & you could make a million!
    My family down in Mississippi have their own Catfish pond where they can catch supper anytime they want.
    But they still love to go out to eat at the busyest restaurant in town, Charlie's Catfish House!

    Re: If you wanted to see a business start

    I'm actually doing my dream job now - I own a private boarding facility and board dogs for upscale clients. I've had all kinds of office jobs in Manhattan and upstate NY and hated them. I started out small in my home and the business skyrocketed. Once people found out I don't cage their dogs like at a kennel, word spread like wildfire. I now quit my day job because I'm so busy, so none of you should discard the dream ideas you mentioned in this thread - DO THEM!!!
