Business idea № 10: Library Store

Even though e-books and audio books are sprouting up everywhere, they still could not replace the smell of a new book, the feel of a turning a nice page and holding a hardbound book while sipping on a cup of coffee.

And though it would be hard to compete against the top bookstores, that might just be the advantage you have.

Combining a library - where people could read to their heart's content the best books in the world, while giving them the option of purchasing these books should they want to gives you the best of both worlds. Not to mention the very high possibility of adding a mini-cafe so that the readers can sip on their coffee and grab a meal while reading.

The profit would come in the membership or entrance fee to have access to books, from the book purchases should there be any and of course the food and beverage sales.

Sure, fully booked and other bookstores allow you to read, but at the end of the day, you couldn't go there and stay the whole day without feeling guilty that you didn't buy anything. Plus there seats are few and far in between, not to mention, uncomfortable.

So the store must be simple, very comfortable and spacious enough to accommodate readers and customers.

Business Idea № 8: Corporate Transportation

While I know that a few of the top corporations already provide shuttle and bus transport services for their employees, there is still quite a huge market for a transport provider for corporate employees.

Basically the idea is to approach the corporations and sell to them the idea of providing transportation for their employees.

Think school bus -- only this time for corporations and offices.

Some of the perks if this works?


  • There will be less cars on the road (good for traffic and the environment)
  • Employees wont have to deal with the stress of a long drive or commute
  • Employees get to work relaxed and rested
  • No more stress caused by the lack of parking spaces

Put premium in being able to bring people to and from work in comfort and style. Nowadays in this fast-moving world of ours, that's something to be appreciated.

Business Idea № 6: START ONLINE

If you don't have the luxury of the time, nor the benefits to have your own office, start from home and start in front of the computer.

Give yourself a goal to make a certain amount of money from your online business within 6 months. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Online you can make full use of a wide array of business opportunities such as buying and selling, online marketing, webpage making, blogging and social networking.

Again as I continue to emphasize, take advantage of what you know best and what you do best. Then take it online. Advertise online, optimize the social networks, learn the ropes by researching online.

The most important part is that you start something.

Getting into the habit of making businesses and making money by doing what you want and what you love doing is a key to success.

Here's a useful guide for you. Go check it out and start your own business. :)

Business Idea № 3: Training/Coaching/Tutoring

Since the idea is to start with something you're passionate about and exceptionally skilled at, we begin by looking at the idea of coaching/tutoring/mentoring.

By teaching others what you are good at and what you are passionate about, you can earn a considerable amount of income.

Just look at the world out there, the richest and the most famous are those whose lives revolve around what they know best and what they do best. I'm sure that there's a chance that what you are doing in your life now isn't what you love best nor what you do best.

So one of the easiest ways to earn that extra income and start your road to your business empire is to teach people and earn from those who are willing to pay the price for learning - and believe me, there are plenty.

Business Idea № 2: AD Agency for the start-ups

Marketing is a continuously growing field and advertising is a major industry that never stops evolving. So the opportunities are endless.

Business also never stop sprouting. 

So if you have the passion for advertising, design and production, start your own.

Help smaller and starting business grow and they will help you grow as well. With this you will be able to have more control of your life, your time and your own happiness and fulfillment.

Furthermore, there is beauty in numbers. Why go for a big client when you can go for 10 small ones who, with your help will turn into 10 big ones?

In addition, what better way to prove yourself as an account executive or advertising expert by making other companies grow from the start? :)

How?

1. Do your research and learn (gather as much data as you can in terms of running your own business and learn from them)
2. Do it on the side if you can't give your full-time (if you don't have enough savings in the bank that will last you for 6 months, start small)
3. From Freelance -- to legal business

Freelancing is a start. But in order to become big, you have to prepare BIG. So turn it into a legal corporation.

The Business Pipeline

Why business?

Because everyone has a business idea --- but not everyone has the guts to make these ideas happen. And no one can do all the businesses alone.

I say guts because that's all it takes to make that leap into business. Resources will come, finances and opportunities will come, only if courage is taken.

Why pipeline?

Because someday this will lead to a bevy of businesses being created and being successful. Ultimately this will lead to a lot of lives changed.

From the craziest and most outrageously stupid business ideas to the ones that are actually great ideas that will bring in profit, this blog will show them all.

Laugh at the stupid ones as much as you want.

Act on the brilliant and feasible ones as fast as you can.

These are my ideas.

What are yours?

Let's make this happen.
