Ive been involved in family businesses my whole life from construction companies on the east coast to marijuana dispensaries in the west. I've learned a lot through these experiences but am ready to break out on my own.

I just moved to a southern major metro area to look for an opportunity. I came with no money, no job, and bills to pay lol.

As happenstance would have it I unexpectedly came into $5,000.

I want to start a business with that $5,000.

I have built Wordpress sites, and messed around with Shopify. All my hands on business experience comes in the brick and mortar business world though. I've thought of leveraging both by running a brick and mortar business with a great online presence.


So far I have narrowed my ideas down to; a coffee and cookies food cart or a dog walking service. I plan to hire ASAP so I can grow the businesses.

I'm also open to ecommerce and affiliate marketing type ideas.

I know there is a ton of experience on this forum. So I've came here to ask what you guys would do and why?
