I have the will and determination to create a business or a business system. Once I have an idea in my mind, I can focus and get right to work. I am hard worker, and once I've decided to do a project, I do it.
But for whatever reason, I can't think of a damn good business idea. I just can't.
Now, I know the whole philosophy, where you're supposed to "provide value", "Stop chasing money and instead solve problems." I get all of that. But what do you do when you're in desperate need of money, and getting a job is very hard to do?
I've applied for so many jobs, and I've gone on interviews, and even though I have a part-time job ($10/hr at best 15-20 hours a week), I can't pay my bills, my rent, my car/car insurance, buy food, etc.
We just came off the holidays, and I know that some businesses are slow, but you NEED money to survive. It's that simple. I get the whole "provide value" thing, but let's be realistic. You need money to survive, and I'm thinking about starting a business because I need money coming in.
My problem is that I can't think of an idea that I am confident will be a seller. Going into business is a huge risk. Should I just take any idea I think "could" potentially be a seller and do it? And if it fails, it fails?
Everything is based on time, whether it is finding a job or starting a business. It's just that money is so scarce in my life right now, and I need a huge injection of it.
Does anyone have any advice that they could give me?
Thanks.
EDIT: I've read this thread for some clarity (Coming up with new business ideas), so any advice on what to when you are desperate for money? Not much you can do right? Just keep hustling and praying you'll land a job?
