Hello.
My name is Mr. Wicks2006 on this site(not my real name, but I will add additional info. later in my profile page) and my business needs your help! No experience is required to participate, here! Don`t expect perfect english or formal business entries in this talk.
I am look for some help starting my business from the kitchen table and I don`t know whether this will work. No Guarantees. Please help me start my business - won`t you?
O.k. I think you got it, we are starting with a skeleton startup and minimal cash on hand(about $100).
First Issue of the day: A business is not depended on - race, gender, age, sexual orientation, big cash reserves, formal education, past business experience, physical body characteristics, physical location, or dress. So lets remove these business barriers from our minds.
Do you agree that businesses have been started with and without these attributes? (please remember we are starting a real biz from the kitchen table - I need your responses to this issue and future problems! thanks.)

I believe what `Scrapbiz` is saying - all we really need is some BRAINS!! alias: Human system or Imagination!! and this website gives us a chance to stretch ours. Question: Do you believe some people have more capability than others in business? (natural capability - how do I know that i am ready for a business objective?) Please help!
What i really like is how quick people are to assist an aspiring artist(i mean that in a positive way - not con artist!). Also, i have made some postings on others thread, too! I see that someone has rated me low (2 - score) but i understand that i am new here!!
Back-to-business: I successfully sold on eBaY from the kitchen table, therefore, I believe that it would be a good place to startup. In fact, you can search your homes for a few items to sell online and get good results(from eBaY). The money from the items sold could be used as startup capital for a new kitchen-table-venture(this is what i plan to do!). The downside with eBaY is that it takes a lot of commitment to be a Powerseller(lots of emails, etc.).
Does anyone have any advice on eBaY, or selling merchandise online(Amazon, etc.)? Do you think that selling others items at commision would be a good business idea for my kitchen table theory(boats,cars etc.)? Or am I acting smarter by leveraging the money into another online operation? I am excited about starting a business at home - can you share some thoughts?? Thanks.
When I read your mention of the `Ink Jet Printer` I felt yet another pang in the gut. I designed the print head they use while working under contract to a VERY large computer company back in 1989. The director of the printer division was thrilled because it would provide higher resolution images than the old `dot matrix` rod and tape printers. Silly me. If only I`d had a contact like you back then - we might`ve gotten rich off that design.

Based on your comments in this post, it sounds to me as if you are not quite sure what business you wish to start. There are some great articles available here at SuN you should read. Could help you clear up some of your questions in your own mind.
6 Steps to Choosing the Right Business
That`s just one good article. Review all here:

`ExecutekSearch` brought up an important point that some people are more naturally gifted than others in biz. We see examples of leadership that works better than others. To what point their naturally gifted ability helped is hard to measure. Did you know that Albert Einstien, Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs all started their careers working in dead-end jobs.
`The Doctor(above) might be responding to another link, other than what`s posted here!!
`KeyCon` suggest that I tap the resources found on this site. I am really glad that he didn`t tell me to follow a list of suggestions(like: 100 Businesses you can start from Home Article). Yes, I do have an idea for a business,here! However, just like those examples found in Entreprenuer magazine - they don`t always make the grade!!
As-far-as chasing my passion - that`s a hard thing because our personal interest doesn`t always have a Golden-outcome. I think a better approach is to evaluate an idea that`s based on our personal needs(eg. I need a new car - How much money could I make a week to satisfy that desire, so that I don`t have to go flip burgers at nights to pay for it?)
Personally, I believe unless I am willing to earn two thousand dollars gross weekly - what`s the sense of working for myself?
When I talked about eBaY - its either `Powerseller` or just supplement money for investment purposes.
Here`s a list of biz ideas for kitchen table:1. Profit consultant 2. eBaY Sales 3. Manipulate web resources(newsletter, websites, how-to)
Do you have any good ideas for great wealth? By the way, I believe that a home-based entreprenuer would be prudent to steal good ideas, because clues are all around us. Can you queue us in?? Thanks.
hope that answers the question. just one quick warning - dont go advising people unless you are able to stomach the legal ends. Any other ideas?
How many of you put hours in beyond the required? Do you work Saturdays and Sundays??
Hey, i got a brainstorm this morning while drinking coffee. By the way did you see the Wall Street Journal yesterday? Go Porsche!! No. 1 by J.D. Powers (and Lexis dropped to level II)
Do you believe that G.M. will improve and become a turn-around success as Chrysler did? why or why not?
Back to my brainstorming - I had an idea this morning to offer `personalize content` on the web for profit. It`s a crosses between `how-to` and `blogging` - do you think that people would want me to perform personalized information brokerage service for them?
I guess I would have to straighten out my English - and try to get people to like me more, too!! I see my score on this Startup Nation site is a bit low despite my good intensions.
So what do you think? Help for profits? Like an information broker but there would be information from a perspective(s).
Some of you might be wondering why speak about my ideabecause others would view it here - and steal!! But, look at `blogs` and how they took off because it become Industry de-facto standard.
What would you call someone who pushes personalized content throught the web? any suggestions?
I notice there are a lot of schemes on the internet: homebased signups, get paid for taking survey(s), cheap `how-tos` but they want big money for signups.I got 20 ebooks for a penny on the net and BE WARNED!! People throw them together without doing research that would warrant college level performance in rewrite.
How would someone win consumer confidence on the internet when introducing a revolutionary biz idea?
How are you doing today? Ready for a Porsche in your portfolio? Any thoughts on eBaY? Thanks.
(I fully understand - that all the knowledge, money andimagination I would need is found here - in America!)
sell my ideas, and don`t forget the scissors, too!
rewrite is hard, I have relative whom does....hard stuff!!
as you can see from my score #, I`ve been banged aroundand offending msg. aren`t a problem.
so...why plan?
