Hi guys,


I'm looking for good ideas to start a business, but I haven't had any good ideas for weeks.

I finished my masters (wood technology) this year and I think I lack the insight into the business world to come up with a proper business idea. So I thought it would be a good idea to get a job and see what problems people have and what I can solve. The problem is that I haven't found a job since. The economy isn't doing so well in my area and so there are fewer job adverts or companies aren't hiring because they're not getting enough orders or I'm too highly qualified and so on. Now I'm sitting at home applying to companies or working half-heartedly on a business idea (wooden tennis rackets). It's driving me crazy and demotivates me. I want to work on a project/business idea that excites me and that I want to spend my time on.

Why is it so hard for me to find an idea that excites me and that I want to spend my time on?
Why is it so difficult for me to decide on a direction? If I focus on the wood and forestry sector, I narrow my view. If I am open to every area, the possibilities are too great for me.
Why is it so difficult for me to recognise the needs of the market?
Why is it so difficult for me to commit to an idea?
Its also difficult for me to spent some money on an idea if I dont believe in it by myself.


Sorry for the little rant and my negative thoughts, but I needed to get this out of my head and talk to you guys.
If anyone is interested I have written down some ideas here: IDEA - I want to make money (Forestry &Timber industry)
