Big strides into 2019 mean that now might be a great time to start the business you’ve been thinking about getting off the ground. Just keep your mind open and the desire to start a business ignited. Nature and surroundings will provide ample cues to a new and profitable business idea. Inspiration can come from anywhere. A simple grocery store and its problems could lead you to open the next Costco in your town or a mere walk in your neighborhood park could lead you to develop Tivoli Garden for your city. The key is to keep your eyes and mind open and accessible to new ideas and opportunities.
Craigslist, the biggest American classified advertisements website, for example, was created just to distribute e-mails to friends to inform them of the local events. Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist, started this enormous platform just to have a way for friendly communication and how this has now spread its tentacle to all segments worldwide is simply amazing.
A new and novel idea is enough to spur an initiative for a good business.
