Fishstick Friday

Lately I have been borderline obsessed. I’ve been scheming and plotting trying to figure out a way  to make money doing something that I really like and, almost as important, something that would allow me to set my own schedule.

I’m FULL of ideas for other people -

Carly should start a baking business, Kiersten should start a food blog, Maureen should keep doing her freelance thing.

But what about me? Why is it next to impossible to think about ideas for myself but opportunities for other people are crystal clear?

Right now I’m ignoring the fact that this is a glaring red flag that maybe I have no marketable skills that could be turned into a viable business opportunity.

Is there a market out there for someone who can think of business ideas for other people? Part of me says yes the other says no.

YES - sometimes people just need an outside perspective, some actionable steps and a little enthusiasm.

NO - If someone actually wanted to start a business then they would. Period. Most entrepreneurial people don’t need the “big idea”, they already have it, or think they have it.

You could probably call this being a consultant, but a little less in-depth.

I don’t think that idea is very realistic, for a thousand different reasons, but it seems lately that its the only thing I can do!

So while I continue to ruminate about my own future business feel free to send me your skill set and interests and perhaps I’ll be able to come up with something great for you.
