I have been thinking of starting a new business for years but every time I think of a new idea, I somehow lack the ambition to start. Some business ideas I previously thought of was a soap making business, jewellery business, wine making business and even a proof reading business. I have been watching Dragon's Den which is a TV programme shown in the UK where budding entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch their business ideas to five multimillionaires who are willing to invest their own cash. I am really amazed with the new ideas people have thought of.
Do you have a home business or have you ever had a business? How did you go about establishing your business?

I don't have any business but it's not that easy to start a business in India as we have a lot of rules and it needs capital. Moreover I am old to set up any business.

Yes. I had a temporary placement service. I hired temporary employees for various businesses. I had to do a lot of research before opening the business.

No. Not yet. But reading your post gave me some ideas. Previously, I had the idea of starting a salon or buying land and using it for car parking where I offer car parking services

What was one of those new ideas? I am curious.
No I had never had a home business, except doing a few hairdressing appointments.
Word of mouth always won the day for me.

I don't have a business although I used to do a lot of crochet and sell it.

Yes the problem is, I tend to sway from one idea to another.
