Editor's Note
There’s a saying that goes something like this: “Ideas are a dime a
dozen and you cannot copyright a single one.” The upside to this
statement is that anyone with half a brain can take an existing
business idea, expand on it and create a new business – so long as
it doesn’t infringe upon the other company’s copyright, trademark or
patent.
While business ideas are truly a dime a dozen, it can be difficult to find the right business because there are so many things to consider, such as time constraints, financial obligations, legalities, personal talents and skills, and the need for supplies and merchandise. And if that isn’t enough, finding the right business idea also takes self-discovery, trial and error, and plenty of research. Yet the idea of operating a small business from home can make anyone’s heart skip a beat. After all, who wouldn’t want the flexibility of working around her (or his) family’s busy schedule, to earn income with kids underfoot, or to spend the day doing something you absolutely love? The important thing to keep in mind when looking for a business idea is to make sure it’s something you’ll enjoy doing long before it earns a profit, it’s something that your potential customers not only want but need, and that it can work around your current responsibilities until you have enough business or income to leave the security of your current job. Read some of the stories and you might hear the call in your heart to go for your dreams. |
