What business shall I Start up with?

I am currently sitting at home with no work. I have 11 years banking experience and numerous years of different other things as well. I would classify myself as a general all rounder. I'm very good with people.

People have been telling me to start my own business and be my own boss, but what shall I do? What type of business of my own shall I open up? How do I start it off?

    Brad, before you jump into your own business give serious thought to what you like to do. Your years of banking experience was your job, now you have a chance to create work you want to do to earn money.

    I'm not telling you to toss out your experience, it will work for you when starting your business. What you need to really think more about is what would you do if money wasn't an issue.

    For example, would you love to take people to some of the best fishing in Alaska. Maybe you are an amateur gourmet cook and can teach that. Or you simply love banking, and could help small business owners through the paperwork to get a loan for their businesses.

    Whatever business you start remember this, there will be good days and days you will want to scream your head off. It happens. But if it's something you enjoy doing and the money is there, you'll take a deep breath and get on with the next thing:)

    I'm including a link to a few sites to get some ideas. One you might have to sign-up for his newsletter but it will give you ideas for businesses that have nothing to do with internet marketing, stuffing envelopes or doing surveys.

    Give it a week, check with SCORE for ideas and don't buy anything until you're ready to get started.

    The fine recommendation I can provide is that you just must do anything which curiosity you! You mentioned that you are bored of your present activity, however should you begin a web based industry for anything which does not curiosity you then you definately wouldn't have any motivation and can quickly turn out to be bored of it too. It's infrequent that those ventures will take off over night time, you must positioned plenty of labor in and also you must have motivation and suggestion to keep doing what you revel in.
