Interested in starting a business but need inspiration on what to actually do? Maybe you read my article on 3 passive income ideas and reached the conclusion that option 3, starting a business, was the one that suited you best? Well, good news, this article is just for you.
I will present seven business ideas, where hopefully at least one resonates with you enough for you to take action. Let’s start!
1. Consulting
The easiest way to start your own business is by continuing what you are doing at your current job, but as a consultant. This means, instead of one company paying you for your services, you land clients and thus become a consultant.
If you don’t have a job, or you don’t like what you do right now, ask yourself: “What am I really good at?” Examples of consulting careers are management, IT, accounting, marketing etc. Maybe you are excellent on social media, then choose to become a social media consultant.
Remember, landing a first client is the most difficult. The best tip I can give is to offer your services for free in the beginning. This builds your portfolio — previous work, essential for landing clients in the future — and you generate positive word of mouth (hopefully) from the company.
