A good idea is only 1/2 of what it takes to make “big bucks.” The other 1/2 is passion. You can have a great idea but if you’re not passionate about it, then the business will not go far. I think your dog product business is a good example – not a bad idea, but obviously you’re not THAT interested in it.

So, learn from this experience: don’t ask your Yahoo friends for good ideas, ask yourself what it is that you would really really love to do – you have a lot of energy and seem like a budding entreprenuer – so start with passion and go from there!!

You sound like a talented family. I’m assuming your dad has his own tools so it would be a shame not to use them in the new business. Magicians pay a nice penny for well constructed magic tricks and there are plans available for making them. There is the possibility of selling them wholesale to suppliers so you don’t have to do the difficult part of retailing. I’m talking about tricks that range from $100 to $1000 in price that would be easy for a cabinet maker to build.

If you live in a city you could also make a unique product that combines your current businesses. You could make extra special doghouses! You would come up with a design that can’t be found anywhere else. People would probably line up.

Here is a suggestion. I have a home business in health and wellness that is doing very well. This product is medically as well as scientifically validated and it is something safe for absolutely anyone to take. The main market is the baby boomers as they are looking for health and anti-aging. When I tell them what this product has done just for me and my family, they buy it and try it because it comes with a 90 day guarantee. But it is also very beneficial for athletes, cuts their recovery time in half, excellent for arthritis, gout, back pain, acid reflux, fibromyalgia and any other auto-immune deficiency.
This is fast becoming a trillion dollar industry and because of the reputation of this product, incomes of $10-$20k/mo are definately not unusual. It comes with a free website as well as training, and I ensure everyone in my organization gets all the help they need.
If you know anyone with health issues or people who are looking for prevention of disease, this is definately something they can use.
