Idea #1:
Wardrobe specialist
My idea of a wardrobe specialist is basically choosing wardrobes or outfits for people who either don't have the time to dress themselves according to the different events that they need to attend or don't have a very good fashion sense and needs someone to help them out and keep up with the trend.
My target customers would mostly be business women who need to dress themselves professionally and effectively. I do personaly services, such as going to their houses and choosing outfits from their own closets.
This is a good idea because first of all it doesn't require that much start up cost. The only start up costs that would be costing me money is advertising for my "company" which is for people to be aware of the service that i'm offering to them. It is easy to operate, i don't really need office space because i will be going to other people's houses and choosing their wardrobes from there. Or the other option is to do personal shopping with them.
Idea #2
lawn mower/leaf cleaner/snow shoveller
This is a year round job that could keep the business in check depending on the season and what we have to offer. It will be a small business because you are offering services to only near neighbours. The startup cost may be a bit or not at all depending on what kind of things you already have in your house hold. You could utilize the lawn mower at your house if you have one to mow lawns for neighbours in the summer, clean leaves in the autumn, and of course, shovel snow in the winter.
This is a good idea because these are the jobs that people don't enjoy doing or just simply wants to do it but either too lazy or don't have time at all to get them done. Therefore, it would be perfect to hire a neighbour, someone who you can rely and trust, and will get the job done fast and well. They don't need to worry about anything.
