I might be able to help you a bit, as I am exactly the opposite. I have ideas I'm literally wading through, hip deep.
I want two biz ventures that can easily expand - require no rented office space - and I can delegate all the work out. Sound impossible?
Here are two that you can start this week. Your IT experience should allow you to launch these big time. Promoting is the name of the game. Do that well, and you can sell ice cubes to Eskimos.
First. I like this one because the demand and market is so damn huge. And it's an easy job.
Commercial cleaning. It's done after hours. Easy to master. Constant demand. Easy to delegate. Repeat steady business. Easy to grow. Ease into it with carpet steam cleaning. Add the whole cleaning package. Manage snacks and coffee as an option. Make it impossible for them to say no. Sheeet man - what a biz this could be. But does anyone do all of that now? No. Why not? They don't think like a marketer.
Second. I like this one because it's like owning an ATM machine. Takes some skill, but the sky is the limit here.
Leads. Create social marketing and SEO for customers using YOUR resources - i.e. your website. You own the matrix of what makes the money. Then you sell the leads. Other companies are doing this, but not all that well. Think; Angie's List, Yelp, Home Advisor, Yellow Pages. They try to mass market though. And their methods suck. I know - I've tried them. Do one on one with high paying services, like Medical, Dental, Vacation Packages. The list is endless. I go through a company that plans vacations - Apple Travel. I've had bad experiences without them, and I've had great experiences with them - so with them I go. They don't slap things together - they do a really good job, even though they are the middleman and don't do the work themselves.
Some do this and call it digital marketing. This better because it's ongoing and you own the network. Some business don't want the whole set-up. They want to pay for the results and have you manage/do it.
In fact, I can't think of a business that DOESN'T need superior marketing. And so many of them do an absolute crap job of it that it's embarrassing.
@Johnny boy does one of the basic things in biz - lawn mowing. And he's taken it to a whole different level.
Here's another one - Limo drivers! Oh wait...
