Okay so I'm sitting here thinking, browsing this Business & Finance forum - great stuff
I have a wealth of experience under my belt and I've been seriously thinking about just starting up a small business which will allow me to work from home and spend more time with my daughter with minimal commute. Problem is, I need ideas on what sort of business to start. So I'm hoping that people here in the forum will be able to throw some ideas my way, based upon my experience.
