A Good Business Idea Is Hard To Find

Now I'm fully aware that I was last rambling about becoming a contractor and that whole bit but I'm not so sure about it, now. Sometimes I think I might not be cut out for a business where you have so many customer service issues to deal with. That said, I'm realizing that getting a great business idea is easier said than done.

For one thing it has to be something that people really need. You can come up with the coolest invention ever but if there's not a need for it then you're up the bloody creek. So market research comes into play there. Also your business idea has to be doable. Maybe there's a demand for a space tours line, but of course you don't have the money or know-how to get that "off the ground", only rich billionaires. Lastly, I think you need to somewhat enjoy the work. Now I know work is work is work and it may not be a complete blast, but I don't think you should get into a line of business that you hate just because it could be lucrative. That's a train-wreck waiting to happen, you know? Otherwise you could just stay at your job and take the check every two weeks.

So yeah I know I get confused about what I should do sometimes, especially when it comes to crazy business ideas or what direction my career should move in, but bear with me, world. I'll figure it out sometime. He he. If it was easy we'd all be wealthy entrepreneurs.
