These are some of my favourite business ideas I would love to get involved with. Hopefully they will become new profit centers for me although I have to say, I have already achieved all I want to in this life.

So if you want to invest in one of them and have fun bringing one of them to life with me, contact me urgently at garyphelan@yahoo.com

But first,


Some wise words from Richard Branson

Each day
1)Make a list of people to call
2)Make a list of ideas
3)Make a list of companies to setup
4) Make a list of people who can help make this success happen

Each day work through these lists to propel you forward in life and love

Buy a standard size school notebook to do this.

In it make notes of

1)telephone conversations
2)meetings
3)letters to write
4)more ideas to improve a service

Taking notes makes you listen to other people.You can ask how they would like to change the job or business.

Make a good business plan, with limited downside, with good people, with good products and then just think 'Screw it, Let's do it!'

Be a maverick and believe that going against conventional wisdom will always be a fun thing to do!

'Each (ad)venture should be a step into the unknown just like losing your virginity.'

Embrace the new and different over and over again.

. Be prepared to take risks

When it comes to being an entrepreneur, taking a few risks here and there is obligatory, as long as they are calculated risks.

First you have to ask yourself: Will your idea work? Will people pay for it? Will it prove to be a flash in the pan, or a long-term success? How positively you answer these questions should give you some idea of your expected success rate. But there is always some risk involved in any new venture– and you have to be prepared to assess these risks as they present themselves and more often than not, just bite the bullet and go for it.

 

2. Learn to spot an opportunity

Opportunities have to be taken, but they rarely come along without some of that dreaded risk attached, no matter how savvy you are. W

3. Don’t be afraid to reinvent the wheel

Originality doesn’t have to be the only winning ticket. James Dyson, of the eponymous vacuum cleaner range, proved just that.

4. Exploit your market

When you find you’re on to a good thing, stick with it. When Alan Sugar first successfully tapped into the market for mid-range, mass-produced electronics, he didn’t rest on his laurels. He went on to give his public more of what they wanted, from stereos to computers to email phones.

5. Diversify and conquer

Knowing your market and then exploiting your ‘brand name’ is key here. And this is something that easyGroup’s Stelios knows all about.  His exploitation of the ‘pile ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap’ school of business (which goes back to time immemorial, or at least to when Jack Cohen founded Tesco’s) has helped make him a billionaire, which is ultimately what every entrepreneur probably strives to become.

6. Be prepared to work harder than you’ve ever done before

Flexing your entrepreneurial muscle means giving it not 100%, but 110% commitment, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Few, if any, self-made millionaires would tell you different.

7. Do something you love

“If you do what you love, you're going to be better at it,” says millionaire entrepreneur Ken Wills.

 "I'll never retire. I'll still be arguing, trying to get a better deal, when they nail me into my coffin."
