Poll: If you could start your business, what would it be?

A 24 hour day care center that could take handicapped children.
A 24 hour laundromat.
A cleaning service that only uses natural cleaners.

  1. Exclusive day care center for senior citizens AND children.
    I think there are a lot of senior citizens who like being around children and could teach them a lot, and I think a lot of children could benefit from a “grandparent’s” attention.
    I say exclusive as you would obviously have to pick seniors who like children, and children who could benefit from the surroundings.

  2. As a non-profit venture, I would like to offer a chain of storefront shops for the homeless where they could go in, take a bath or shower, get a haircut, get new donated clothes, get job placement applications and a voucher for a local restaurant.

  3. To make money: A combination bar/movie theater with cordless headsets so you can hang out and watch the film, or take off the headsets and talk with friends. It would have comfortable seats and a huge, drive-in theater size screen on one wall.

I want to raise and sell medicinal leeches.

What?

I’ve already started up my own business but because I’m not rich I’ve had to generate the start-up costs myself and build up a clientelle.

That’s actually the best part… seeing all that hard work and sweat pay off as time goes by.

Mind you, if I had unlimited funds and people knocking down my door…

I would open a brick and mortar shop where I could continue to sell pens but would also add antique books and other fine writing supplies such as stationary and hand bound journals. I’d like to add a coffee bar so people could enjoy a coffee or tea as they lingered on my comfortable chairs and couches to read an write to their hearts content.
