crebralfix,
Starting a small biz is something I would like to do someday, but don't know what to make one out of right now. I think I would need to be in WY first to find a "niche". Cute quote from the Apprentice, btw, and easier said than done in my opinion.
Miles,
Yeah, wal-of-china-mart is an option and I'll keep it open. My work experience is pretty limited to my 1+ year at WM and various odd restaurant jobs I have had while going to school. I guess the best thing going for me is that whatever I'm doing I am always a hard worker. Laziness was not tolerated in my house growing up as neither parent was raised in a wealthy home.
Anyways, I want to do this so I'll find work doing something.
I've had reasonable success with a mini-holster making biz. I just work it on a "by-order" basis and it pays for ammo
Take any hobby and start building. Post some pictures on the 'net in specialty forums...kinda like "Hey, look what I made!" Next thing you know, people will be bugging you to make one for them.
I have found it to be a very good experience...better than a painting business, that's for sure.
