Lets play a game, match skills and situations to Biz ideas!

[EngineerThis]

I struggle a lot with finding ideas that would work with me, or I see merit in. I feel many have this issue, where its hard to find a problem to solve, when for YOU it isn't a problem. Also! Based on life experience and slowlane careers, you probably have skills that transfer well to other paths that you have no clue about... So! I will start..

Situation:
-27 years old, married, want kids, have $15K cash, Live in a RV
(Young, have a teammate, have some cash, have freedom of location)

Strong Skills:
-Manufacturing Engineering, 3D CAD design, 3D printing, Jack of all trades (Automotive, plumbing, electrical, Home repair, fabrication etc.)
(Very hands-on skills, can make products a reality, understand how things work)

Weakness:
-Great at fixing anything (I don't see problems other people have that need solving).
-Freedom of location (No roots, no land, no contacts)
-Wanting a farm and family (Building a farm, raising kids, homeschooling, all clash with pumping money into a business)

So! With that being said... What ventures do you think I'd be successful at? Feel free to copy this template, and fill it in yourself!

Pick anything, take a shot and keep firing, keep moving. Doesn't matter what direction, get some lead down range first.

To get started if you can do common repairs then why not set up a local handyman / repair business? You can go fix stuff first, then once you have clients hire workers and send them to jobs. There are tons of options for that like home repairs, commercial real estate, landscaping, painting, restoration, mobile car tire changes, car detailing.

Once you have some cash from doing repairs you could use your skills in repairs to:
Create a tool, product, or a course educating other people how to repair stuff.

The same could work for your other skills, 3D printed product that you design and sell, a course teaching people to 3D print, etc.

Pick something get started make your first $1, scale what you did to make the first $1. Repeat. Start something else.
