This is a question that only *you* can answer. Although it seems like business opportunities are everywhere you look, there's no reason why you have to limit yourself to someone else's 'prepackaged' opportunity.

'Biz ops' usually cater to a very limited set of interests -- nutritional supplements or Internet marketing are common examples. Instead of trying to force yourself to 'fit' into one of these opportunities, why not consider starting and building a business of your own making?

Many successful entrepreneurs are running businesses based on their personal interests and experiences. You'll be surprised at how simple ideas can turn into profitable home businesses! For example, one lady in my neighborhood creates unique 3-dimensional bookmarks in shape of various wildlife -- and she sells them to tourism stores in nearby National Parks, among others.

Another example came from a local newspaper. A woman with a 'knack' for picking out 'perfect' gift offers a shopping service: she'll go gift shopping for birthdays, Christmas, and other special occasions so that you don't have to endure stress or crowds. And she LOVES to shop!

Think about that for a second. Maybe that's NOT what you expect after all. Yes, that's what we all WANT, but it isn't necessarily what we expect. Why is that? Why is it that we don't necessarily expect to get what we want to get?

I maintain that businesses we deal with shape our expectations in many different ways. If it is an online business, website design gives us a clue as to what we can anticipate. If there are garish headlines, obnoxious colors, outrageous claims, etc. we get feeling that we had better be careful.

If we are talking about a brick-and-mortar business (you remember those… they used to be called "stores") our expectations are formed by cleanliness, orderliness, lighting, and smell. The employees' attitude and grooming make a big impression as well.

I'm not saying that we should be forming expectations based on these somewhat superficial clues. In a perfect world, we would anticipate our transaction based solely on value and quality of goods and/or services offered. But it's not a perfect world, so we go into most transactions with some sort of anticipation based on how we feel about business due to these external clues.
