Last month I visited Trinidad & Tobago (an island of 1,226,383 people) for my National Championship trials for World Championships in Track & field. I realized that small businesses I saw there when I was only 10 years old are still thriving and getting regular customers. This begged further investigation on my part. When I talked to the locals and my family I saw that people were willing to travel from one side of the island to another just to go to a specific restaurant or store. Note that traveling in Trinidad takes less than an hour due to how small the island is and the scary absence speed limit signs on the freeways.:driving:. In the Millionaire fastlane book MJ wrote that franchises are not totally fastlane, but whenever I am at the KFC in the capital city or anywhere for that matter it is always packed. It seems like a multiple absentee franchises here would be a great idea for passive income once one acquires the $ for brick and mortar.
Third world countries are just another way to say developing countries. I have a hunch that since fast food places are starting to pop up everywhere people will start having problems with obesity. Can you say HEALTH INDUSTRY!:groove: The first people to hop on these type of opportunities and execute them correctly have a huge potential to be wealthy. Gyms will start filling up, supplement and nutrition stores will se higher sales, and sadly hospitals may too due to lifestyle related diseases. Maybe pilates, yoga, aerobics, and zumba will become more popular among women and men will start crowding the gym and buying the latest local p90x type dvd.
I beg people to look for these opportunities when they are abroad and even if you are in the United States. There are cities that are underdeveloped with these type of opportunities. MJ said to ask yourself Can you spot a Need? Is there a fastlane opportunity? Next time you might be visiting a relative, taking a vacation, or just going out of your normal residence check the landscape, and there will be hidden opportunities. It seems to me opportunities are in undeveloped places with a large population.
I hope my realization helps a lot of people who feel like they are stuck and need a refreshing eye opener on where problems can be found to solve.
Good Luck Fastlaners!
