Got Money, Got Skills, Got NOOOO business idea!

[CMG987]

Hi everybody,

I think I don’t have to explain why I am here. I read the book and now I need to find a way out of 9 to 5 rat living

I want to be my own boss and enjoy things in life such as having time for family, travelling around the world etc.

As I mentioned in the headline I have the basic requirements for a startup. But unfortunately one of the most important factors (the idea) is still missing.
But to get a better impression of my problem you should know following:

I am working for a big IT company (as Manager, no coding skills)
I live in Germany, 26 years old
Got university degree
I have substantial income (+ savings = $70K)

In my experience Germany is the most adverse country for startups or fastlaners.
Everything is over-regulated and you need permissions for any sh**.
Income tax is between 38-48%, corporate tax 25-35%!
The startup scene is very small. No governmental support, no big incubators etc.

Due to the fact that I work a lot and have less time for checking out other peoples’ problems, I never could find a niche/problem or an interesting/growing industry (in Germany) which would be worth it to enter. But people in Germany (generally Europe) always adapt and copy trends from the US!

So here is the question: Can you give me some ideas, which trends are right now ongoing in the US? Especially in the luxury segment. Has anybody already experienced to run a business, which is located in Europe and selling to US via drop shipping?

My idea so far is either cosmetics, supplements or apparel. Does anybody know some high quality manufacturer in those sgements already?

What would you do in my position?

Best regards

C.
