Are you
ready to start your own business, but not ready to hire employees? Don't worry,
there are plenty of businesses you can start that don't require you to have
employees...at least not right away. Here are five ideas to inspire you to
start working on your business plan.
Virtual
Health Coaching
Are
you the kind of person who gives unsolicited advice about the healthiest foods
to eat and the proper way to exercise? While your family members may not
appreciate your wisdom, strangers just might. Turn your healthy lifestyle
choices into lucrative business decisions by becoming a virtual health coach.
If you have a background in health or nutrition and some Internet know-how, you
could get your business off the ground in no time. You’ll be aided in your
efforts by the myriad new health-related apps and devices being
developed to help clients keep track of fitness goals and weight loss. The
right website and social media presence are essential for successful Web-based
business, so be sure to read up on building a social media marketing
strategy.
Chore
Service for the Elderly
Anyone
with aging loved ones knows how hard it can be to care for them without extra
help. Elderly people living in their own homes need help with lots of routine
chores like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and yard work. Why not start a
business that offers elderly people and their families the help they need to
maintain their households without breaking their budgets? With word-of-mouth
endorsements and social media targeted at the overworked baby-boomer set, you could get this business off the
ground in no time.
Microbrewer
Want
to turn your love of beer into a viable occupation? Why not jump on the
microbrewing bandwagon? With the popularity of craft beers on the
rise in the U.S., the demand for innovative breweries is growing. The Brewers
Association reports more than 2,000 craft breweries operating as of 2012,
and nearly half of them are microbreweries. Take a page from the successful
owners of Brooklyn Brewery and start by focusing on branding and
distribution of your beverages. With some thirsty investors and a few barrels
of persistence, you could have your brewery up and running faster than you can
say “cheers!”
Personal
Trainer
The U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the rate of employment for personal
trainers is expected to grow by 24 percent between 2010 and 2020. That’s
about 10 percent faster than the national average for other professions. With
employers and corporations looking to decrease health care costs and a greater
awareness of diseases associated with obesity, America is looking to get fit in
2013. Freelance personal trainers make their own schedules and work for a
diverse range of clients. If you’re a fitness guru with a head for business,
this might just be the right idea for you.
Special
Deliveries
Military
personnel, government workers and others who live overseas can have a difficult
time sending gifts to loved ones in the U.S. Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers
in celebration of a wedding anniversary or an ice cream cake delivery for a
child’s birthday, there’s a need for businesses that carry out long-distance
requests on behalf of those whose work keeps them away from home. While some
companies make special deliveries for service people free of charge,
there’s always room for a little profit (and some good PR) in the world of giving favors.
With the right website and a PayPal account, you could start building your
reputation as a “special delivery” person today
