I took my hobbie, and played around with it. Then in about 6 months took it to the next level. I have been in business going on 7 years. I love what I do. My husband was able to quit his job in Jan. 2010 and help me with the business. Who quits a job?? Well he did because I was making more than him each month and we really only needed one income. So I suggest taking your hobbie and turning it into a business. Say you like to build model cars. Not all of us can do that, but they are great gifts. If food is something your wanting to sell, do gift baskets, or candy baskets. If you can sew, then make things we can't. The resources are out there. It took about 2000.00 to start up what I do..... although I did not take 2000.00 out of my pocket and put it into the business. It took time. I sold things online at auction places and got enough money to slowly start the business. I have anywhere between 700 and 900 customers visit the site everyday. Go with what you love to do... it is going to be your business and you have to love what you do!!!! You have to take your passion, what drives you. I took my hobbie, and played around with it.

Number one we are in a recession and that's the best time to start a business. Number two, it's great timing from an industry stand point. Fresh produce for instance is largely unregulated and won't stay that way for long. Get cash flow and established and the government will create barriers that will sway would be competition. Number three, people aren't traveling, making big ticket purchases as much and are in general, "sitting" with themselves more. They want to feel good and realise food is the main contributor. I like the Internet too, its another great business opportunity. This is a great post.And a revealing poll. Thanks Joe @ Best Small Business Ideas.

For the people who want to build websites as a business. FYI, there's no money in building websites anymore. It might of been a great idea back before 2008, but there's so many "do it yourself" builders and open-source software that many people are starting to discover. It's a pointless road to travel down. People don't pay top dollar for anything anymore if they can get it for $5 a month and build it themselves. You'd be better off starting a window washing service in your neighborhood.

At this time and age where Nations are struggling. Governments are having no choice but to keep pumping money into Defence in order to keep up with the current international issues. Being a serviceman myself. I feel that the Armed Forces have the funding and is waiting for that one best innovative idea to come along and stand out amongst the usual. I have a few ideas because I've seen it all. I'm just waiting for the right individual to come my way and become part of a team that will bring this few ideas off the ground.

I did this on an item and sold it 1 dollar more than what I purchase at... and sold millions of them (something so tiny you wouldnt even imagine)... Good luck, just don't forget that the key rule is never to give up and there is always a way! heh, when I read your comments I laugh… everybody is missing the point… people are always updating… everyone nowadays wants to try out something new… try innovating a product in a way where every person would like to have….
