Business 1:
About a week ago, I had the idea to start a local/worldwide online consulting/painting business. That idea was to have someone send a picture of the desired room (or me visit in person), and then have me suggest a painting setup, as well as make the actual paintings for them. That way it's both color matched and cohesive AND they don't have to go out and look for the perfect painting. I would also show them thumbnail mock-ups of different options for them to review first.
This business serves as a source of income to fund "bigger business" later on, and who knows, maybe this one will go somewhere.
DONE:
-read The Millionaire Fastlane and joined forum
-bought supplies
