Could always go with tried and true businesses that seem to last through good and bad times.
Liquor stores, Dry Cleaners, Automated Car Washes, Gas Station Convenience store etc. Risk is relatively low depending on area, labor is cheap.
Guy I know started with one drycleaning location and now has like 10 in a medium sized metropolitan area. Doesn't do any of the actual cleaning and uses a service where all the clothes are shipped to a warehouse and cleaned then shipped back to the store. Income isn't millionaire status but mid 6 figures each year. He works like 20 hours a week, sometimes 30 if an employee calls out or something. Goes on 4 vacations a year. Retirement accounts all situated etc. Mid 40's. He could sell each location for 100k plus today if he wanted. Net worth is well into the 7 figure range. Not glamorous but seems like a solid life.*Updated* If you can't hit a 320 yard drive, are you even a man?

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

And what was your intent in doing so?
Can you point out what's wrong with my advice?
OP, this guy is vaguely describing debris removal (EDIT: Nevermind, he's not, but that's his "business")
You could get started doing this on craigslist pretty easily if you have a truck. You can take on bigger jobs if you get a trailer.
That's his secret. He hauls and moves things with his big truck.
It's lucrative because people always need things moved.Last edited by Voidgaze; 02-08-2023 at 10:24 AM.

I'm bullish on products that contain caffeine. America is addicted to caffeine. Having a product that millions have chemical dependencies on is good business.
Energy drinks is competitive but I'm still blown away at the success of Celsius. No one tried marketing energy drinks to sloots but Celsius realized there are TONS of basic sloots and went after the market. Turns out it's not just tradie losers at gas stations that want a pick me up drink.
I think a decent market is something like "micro energy drinks". Basically for someone that wants to drink a bang or monster but doesn't want it to cause heart issues.
I think food products with caffeine is compelling idea (caffeine gum, caffeine ice cream, caffeine snacks,). Even something weird like caffeine face cream where it absorbs into your bloodstream. Sloots and moms would totally use that.

nobody is gonna tell you what business to do.
just do it, it's easier and harder than you think, in different ways.
i started a small business with my last $20k. other comparable businesses in my industry start with $80k+
with my last 20k, i now generate over 20k/month in profit. and it was my first business.
worth it 100% imo

There is a huge barrier to entry. Like for example McDonald's, you need like a million liquid to open one. There are franchises that don't have this barrier, but they're business no one has heard of. Chick FIL A only requires you have$10k liquid, but you have to be a true Christian, whatever that is, and they do check.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
