Starting my own business, ideas please?
I didn’t get any answers when I asked this before.
I’m looking at the possibility of starting a business. Some ideas are; interior decorating, restaurant/bar, snack/sandwich/coffee shop, women’s clothing boutique,etc.
I realize this is broad, but what type of business or service is in demand right now? What type of business would you start? Thanks.
Jennie B, your answer spooked me a bit. When I was was at the fair, a so-called psychic told me to open a clothing store and paint it blue. I don’t believe in psychics, but yes, you used her exact words and that made my heart start racing.
Online business. The internet is the biggest market now, compared to thousands of potential customers in towns and cities, there are millions of potential customers on the internet.
How about owning your website and earn from it like what most website owners do? The thing is here, you can get paid everytime you get clicks and searches.
I’d been on the online business for quite a time now so I personally recommend it to anyone who wants to start a business.
investments?
$10/month – to avail of a website and maintain it
$30 <--- optional advertisements.
but what is the secret of successful website owners? EFFORT.
like any other business, online business is like traditional business to, when you work, you get what you deserve and plus the bonus of having regular customers and supporters. When you referal earns your earn too.
i want to help you.

How On-Line Dating Can Turn Your Luck Around
To people who didn’t know him, John seemed to be just another socially awkward, average guy. If he didn’t date much, it was because he was too busy studying, or working at his part-time job, or for some other boring, perfectly normal reason. Everything was not as it seemed, however. The truth was that John had a secret, and John’s secret was the fact that he had the most abominable luck getting dates.
John tried everything that he could think of to improve his luck. He joined clubs, hung out at coffee shops, and even enrolled in cooking and flower arranging classes. Nothing worked. Every time that he met an interesting girl, something went horribly wrong. He thought that his luck might be starting to change when he came across an advertisement offering private math tuition, and realized that his classmate, Julie, was the tutor. Unfortunately, it couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Just before their first lesson, John had an acne break-out of epic proportions. He’d never seen a case so bad. Neither had his mother, or any of his friends for that matter. Even his doctor admitted that it was a pretty impressive case. He gave John a prescription for zit-cream, and some instructions on how to get rid of acne, and sent him on his way. Poor John wound up canceling the tutorials. By the time his acne cleared up, Julie had gotten engaged.
Some time later, John spotted a pretty young woman strolling around the campus grounds. For John, it was love at first sight. In an instant his heartbreak over Julie was gone. He made some discreet inquiries, and discovered that the young woman’s name was Sarah. Better yet, she was a member of the sorority located right next door to a fraternity he’d recently been asked to join. The fraternity and the sorority often invited each others’ members over for frat parties. John immediately reconsidered his decision not to join. Before long, he was undergoing the initiation rites, which involved draping oneself in bedding quilts while pretending to be the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately no one advised him that the sorority girls would be storming the party. John was mortified. He could never bring himself to face Sarah again, let alone ask her out.
It was after this that John turned to on-line dating. He figured that he should at least give it a try. It did, after all, have certain advantages, such as giving people the chance to get to know each other before they actually met. Better yet, he’d never be caught off-guard in an embarrassing moment again. Only when he was good and ready, and the other person forewarned about his unfortunate bad luck in making strange first impressions, did he need to go through with the meeting. It was a win-win situation.
John had his first response within days. A young woman who was planning on becoming a teacher wanted to get to know him better. When he warned her about his acne break-outs, she told him that, as far she was concerned, it was the person underneath the acne that mattered. A few days later he received another response from a young woman. When asked about how she felt regarding men dressing up as the Statue of Liberty, she answered that clothes don’t make the man, but that, in any case, she had a fondness for men in togas. It was not long before John had more dates lined up than he’d ever imagined possible.
John no longer has the rotten luck that he once did. As his self-confidence improved, so too did his luck. He’s still using on-line dating these days, but it’s not because he needs to. It’s because he wants to.

Coffee Shop Design – Avoid The Budget Trap And Save Your Money
In order to successfully enter a new market any food or drink outlet must exceed standards set by incumbent competitors.
So there is no point in opening a restaurant or cafe that fails to meet customers’ expectations, which will almost invariably have been set by large chain operators spending large sums to attract carefully targeted groups of customers.
If you try to launch a new restaurant or cafe in to a crowded market without doing things right you won’t get a second chance. Ugly doesn’t sell. If you don’t spend enough to solve this problem, which may be more that you want to spend, then you’ll waste all of your money.
In our view, it is a failure to appreciate these simple facts that leads to the failure of most new food and drink ventures. We call this the budget trap. Here is a common scenario.
A would-be restaurateur or coffee shop owner has devised a concept and partly developed their sales offer. They may even have acquired premises. They have raised funds based on their own estimation of the likely costs or a loose quotation provide by a general builder. It is unlikely they have done enough proper market analysis to find out if their concept is best suited to their locality. So they have costs and market opinion based on gut feeling and can’t really know what customers want or what it’s going to cost to provide. On this basis they can’t predict their break-even.
Next they find a suitable architect or designer specialising in food outlets. Most of these specialist designers are guarded because they have seen smaller clients fall into the budget trap many times; this makes the client suspicious.
The specialist designer discusses the project and possibly makes a site visit. They may analyse local competitors. They then express a rough view that the construction budget should be, for example, £2000 per square metre.
At this stage, based on other similar experiences, the designer may express concerns about the viability of the concept. They may say that it is pitched too low to the market and the cost per metre should be higher putting the set up costs or break even out of reach.
The client, being suspicious considers this advice but has a budget of £1000 per square metre. They haven’t fitted a restaurant professionally before but nonetheless they assume the specialist designer is wrong or advising them to spend more out of self-interest. They don’t see the need to use specialist fit out contractors to get the most out of the expert design. Some or all of these matters aren’t discussed openly but the parties still agree to go ahead – the client thinking that the designer has overstated the costs and the designer thinking they have advised the client about how much they are going to have to invest and that the client can raise the extra money.
The budget trap has now been set.
The project proceeds and the designer produces drawings with which the client is happy. The next stage of more complex drawings is produced, often taking days or weeks. Everyone is happy.
Next the designer suggests some specialist fit out contractors to build the outlet properly and asks them to tender. A specification is drawn up that includes many items that the client, being inexperienced, forgot to include in their budget or underestimated. The tenders are returned and they are all around £2000 per square metre. Double the funds the client has raised but in line with the designer’s predictions.
Guess what happens next? Well if there isn’t a dispute then the design gets cut back. The costs of providing basic services to the restaurant, such as heating, ventilation, kitchens and toilets are always about 65% of the total. These costs can’t be reduced, they have been designed to minimum building standards set by law. So the cuts happen in the furnishings, light fittings and decorations.
The project goes ahead but now the budget trap has been sprung. The restaurant or cafe does not come up to the standard of the incumbent competition, let alone exceed it. Customers do not come or if they do they are unimpressed and they don’t return. Word spreads, quickly these days because of social networking. The venture fails, sometimes within weeks, and all the investment is lost.
We can help you to avoid this budget trap. Working with a specialist quantity surveyor we can provide truthful, independent and detailed advice about project costs before your project commences or as soon as initial drawings have been prepared. This advice is then updated throughout the project. Of course we charge for this service but our fees are a small proportion of the total costs. They are an investment to make sure you plan your finances properly and don’t get caught in the budget trap.

Simple Home Decorating Ideas Anyone Can Apply
Do you own your own home? If so, you should do a little redecorating inside if you feel the need. If you’re concerned that it’s too complicated or will cost too much, start off with one manageable project and move onwards from there. Once you get going, and get into a groove, you will have a lot of fun redecorating the interior of your home, especially as you see the changes being made.
Plants and flowers, either real or artificial, can be used to enhance any part of your home. Live plants, in addition to creating a certain atmosphere within the room are also great for purifying the air inside the home. But not everyone has a green thumb. Or you may have pets that are destructive to plants. These are the instances when it’s a good idea to take a look at artificial plants as an option. If you choose to purchase silk flowers, make sure they fit in with the décor and atmosphere in the room.
Sometimes in order to create a new look for a room or your whole house, you have to let go of old attachments. A good way to enhance the appearance of any room in your home is to take items that used to have a sentimental value and remove them. Some of these items include dishes, figurines, and old furniture that simply does not contribute to the appearance of the home. You should also consider rearranging things in your home which can help improve its general appearance. A diverse frame of mind is definitely necessary when implementing all of these changes to make your house more beautiful.
Putting a carpet or rug on the floor can completely transform a room. You don’t have to be carpet free at the moment to consider this as an option. Does the carpet you have now look good with the rest of the room? There are some rooms where full carpeting is part of the “atmosphere” of the room. It makes them warm and inviting. When you plan carefully however, area rugs can be used to mark off spaces or areas within the room. Remember that if you want your carpet to last you should be prepared to shop around for better quality and expect it to be an investment.
Some people get nervous when the time comes to decorate their own homes. They understand that, to some degree, it’s a test of their own creative talents. You’re the one who lives in your home. Make sure you decorate it so that it will make you happy. Ideas for decorating your home can be found online, down the road, or right outside your door. Just open your mind and let yourself be inspired.
