Life of the Party

Here’s an age-old business idea – become a party/event entertainer. If you have some sort of talent be it music, choral, magic tricks, or acting, this could be a viable business for you. You don’t have to limit yourself to birthday parties either. Using your musical or singing talents, you could form a band or go solo at anniversary parties, weddings, graduation parties, and more. Magic tricks could get you into birthday parties, graduation parties for smaller children, bar mitzvahs, and the like. Use acting skills mixed with costumes such as Spider-Man, Batman, and others to break into events for children. If you’ve got the guts, you could also mix acting with costumes and magic tricks to break into bachelor/bachelorete parties (i.e. – Bambi or Bruno the sexy clown).

Hybrid Electronics

This one will require some invention, engineering, money, and testing. But if you have the access to these items, it is well worth looking into. How many times have you been talking on your cell phone or listening to your iPod only to have the battery die? Trust me when I say you are not the only one. So why not make solar powered electronics (beyond calculators that is).

Lawn Love

Like working outside with machinery and plants? Then a business in lawn care and landscaping could be just the business for you. Now, I know what you’re thinking. That’s seasonal work, right? Come winter business is going to die down and I’ll be left without any money. Well, that is actually up to you. Don’t limit yourself to cutting grass and trimming hedges. Include services such as gardening, lawn decoration, and snow removal and you could have yourself a year round business.

Poet for Hire

Are you good with words? Have a liking for poetry? Why not become a poet for hire. Using your writing skills and your passion for poetry, people will hire you to express what they either cannot or don’t have the time for. This could include their love for someone else, their sentiments over loosing a loved one, their gratitude for a favor, and more. Meet with your clients and conduct an interview with them to figure out what it is they are trying to express. Then charge them for each draft of the poem you do (with a three draft minimum).

Work Finding Work

If you’ve ever searched for a job you know how hard it can be. I bet you even wished someone else could do it for you. Well, what makes you think other people aren’t thinking the same thing? Why not step up and fulfill this need? Providing a full service experience, you will conduct interviews with your clients to gather information on the type of work they are looking for and in order to create a rè sumè for them. Then, using the information you’ve gathered, you will gather, fill out, and submit applications for your clients. Make your money by charging a retainer at the initial interview (covering the interview, the résumé , and the first few applications) and for each additional application you submit once your client gets a job.

Become A Blogger

I start my posts of business ideas with the very one you are looking at – a blog. Starting a blog is easy and cheap. You can host your blog through various companies, including Blogger, WordPress, or Typepad for free. Likewise, you can either use a free domain name (yoursite.wordpress.com) or pay as little as $15 or less for a personal domain name (yoursite.com). When posting, it is as simple as typing a title and your article into boxes neatly labeled for each one. Want to ad an image? There is a little icon that you can click to ad on at the top of the toolbar where you write your article. Find a subject that you are passionate about and start writing. You will make money through the sale of advertising space on the blog.

New Formatting

After some consideration, I’ve decided to change the information format of this blog. Starting tomorrow, The Repass Dream will be offering daily ideas for businesses that you can start. Of course, I will still be keeping you updated on the success of my businesses and offering advice on bettering yourselves and pursuing your dreams. However, I feel that by offering you a multitude of business ideas that you may not have thought of, I cen better serve you.

My Experiment in “Free” Enterprise

In my last post, I informed you that I had a business idea that I would expand on later. Well, I can’t yet afford to launch the idea so I won’t go into details. However, part of it revolves around a blog. Anxious to get my own business up, I decided to run a little experiment to answer this question: Can someone start a business and make money without spending anything other than time? I am hoping that the old axiom, “Nothing is Impossible,” holds to be true.

Choose Your Business Part 3

The Process At Work

As mentioned, I have used this method to choose my own business. Here is a look at how the process worked out for me. Listing my ideas, I came up with a list that included everything from comic books and movies to business and self betterment. Narrowing down the list, I came up with a list that was still fairly large list. Rather than narrow the list further though, I decided to combine items into two different categories. Self betterment and entertainment.

Choose Your Business Pt. 2

Making A List And Checking It Twice

You’ve taken the time to make a list of all the things you find interesting and narrowed it down to a few items that you are passionate about and you are ready to move on to the next step in choosing right business to start. This step consists of making a few more lists. Pull out one sheet of paper for each of your passions from the first list and title each paper at the top with one of those passions. Now its time to put your imagination to work. Start listing businesses revolving around each passion on their respective sheets of paper. Again, this was a long list for me and you will want it to be long.
