21 Crazy Business Ideas That Just Might Work
Times are hard. Customers are few and far between. Jobs are scarce. Credit is tight. Expenses are high. Raises ... forget it. For those of you looking for an idea or two, this is my way of helping out.
Whether you're a consultant, doctor, CEO, wine maker, manager, politician, or restaurant owner, there's pretty much something in here for everyone.
What? If the ideas are so good, why don't I do them?
Good question.
First, I never said they were good. If any of them are, nobody will be more surprised than me. Second, most of them aren't really up my alley. Third, I'm not an entrepreneur. I help others with their ideas; I don't do my own. I figured that out a long time ago. If you want to run with one of these and need some advice, let me know and I'll help you out.
In any case, I do believe the time has come for these --
