So after months of just reading passively on the forum, I decided to take some action. The problem is, that I don't quite know, what to do.
As there are some conditions, that I can't change at the moment, I thought, maybe you could help me find some realistic options. The reason I am asking the forum is quite simple: as it turned out in the last couple of months, I tend to try to start businesses, that are way above my current limits (money- and mindest-wise), resulting in failure and beating myself up once again for coming up with an idea, that I cannot realize yet. So I thought instead of trying to provide value and getting to ambitious again, I limit myself to a certain kind of business and only then I will look for ways to provide value.
So now, I want to start small, just to get going, build some momentum and get my mindset straight. Then, when I have some more experience and a litte bit more money, I am going to try one of my bigger ideas.
Here are the basic conditions:
1. My budget is around 6k.
2. At the moment I don't have much time, as I am working full time and having a family. But I have one advantage: To fulfill my day job, it only takes me around 20 to 25 hours per week (the rest of the time I am basically just surfing the internet or doing other stupid stuff). So I will work on my business every day in office, after I have completed my job responsibilities.
3. It has to be something, that can be done/managed completely from a computer, because (as I said already) I will work on my business while having down time at my day job.
4. It has to be some kind of product, because services are a bit tricky when working on my business while at my day job.
It would be great, if someone could give me some tips on the kind of business, that is realistically possible within these boundaries.
Thank you very much.
