I'm very new at this, have never run a business before, but so far these are the two ideas I am interested in pursuing. I understand I need to research the market first to see if customers actually want these things, but I wanted to run it by some Fastlaners first to get some feedback before I go any further.
1. Buying black truffles/white truffles wholesale then packaging them nicely, marketing them and selling online. I.E. small jar of shaved truffles, whole truffles, etc.
2. I have short legs, so it's hard to rest my left leg on the dead pedal of my car. I wanted to make something that mounts on top of the dead pedal or replaces it that really holds your left foot there securely so you get less fatigued when driving, also have more support when cornering quickly and the g's load up your body.
It would be specifically for the Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster, and I know that there aren't that many sold each year (roughly 5,000 if you add up sales for both models) and the market for owners who would want something like the dead pedal is even smaller than that.
I want to pursue this because I want to just throw myself into the fire and get experience because I feel like that's the only way I'll learn and actually start something, even though the total market is very small. I feel like even taking a small loss would be worth the experience gained.
Thanks in advance to all who read and/or reply.
