Any ideas?

Post by frankieboy »

Well folks this is it, finally decided i,ve had enough. Just had a week off on hols and have never felt so old and knackered in my life. Me backs totally gone, knees and ankles are shattered, neck and shoulders ache continually and never any energy left to do anything. :Boo hoo!
Heres where i could do with some ideas, should be coming into some money soon, not much but enough to probably start up a small business, so any budding entrepreneurs out there got any good ideas for starting one up. Wacky, novel and unusual ideas all welcome.

Low end used car buying and selling, If you like it open your own showroom. Used cars are big at the moment, you should do well.

Hire Roy Cropper from Corrie and get on down the nearest Casino. Apparently Roy can read the cards and is a dabster at Blackjack. :Very Happy :Very Happy

Strangely after a week off I'm busting to get back to work, I don't know if it's just me but since I gave up getting wound up about this job I've felt much happier in it, the fresh air, the exercise, the work mates ( :wink: ) and the customers all make me feel more content.


Now, not that I don't enjoy the rest but I do like to get back :chuckle :chuckle

Betfair! Was always convinced it was possible to make money there. After years of searching for the elusive strategy, I've eventually found it. Increasing bank by 10% daily, with low risk and low stakes. Hope to be making enough daily that enables me to not even touch my pay, which will go straight to pay off mortgage.
Yes, I'm waiting for warning of "it'll never work" etc

:sad: Before you start up on your own, please visit any small business enterprise units that may be in your area. They can talk you through the mimefield of taxes, etc, and offer you free classes,advertising etc. But be warned, going in to self employment/ small business' is not what you think. But very good luck if you decide it's what you want to do.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Buy a plot of ground and grow your own food, it will not make you money but you will never starve.
PS the plot should be on high ground facing south. :thumbup

Is that still a thriving business?
I would have thought that the internet and webcams would have killed it off although the ability to actually see your "facilitator" may have put some out of business.
