Back when Ian and I were working a 9-to-5, we were dreaming up all kinds of ideas to start a business. Over the years, we've discovered what we like to call the Business Idea Paradox; When you need these ideas the most, they are the hardest to come by. Ian and I have decided to donate some of our business ideas that we don't have the time or resources to pursue. We've also reached out to our listeners who have donated some of their own business ideas for this episode and shared their thoughts about what kinds of businesses they would really like to see.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • The best kind of business to start if you don't have any marketable skills.

  • Why starting a business isn't about ideas, it's about relationships.

  • Why the marijuana industry looks to be a promising sector for entrepreneurs.

  • How talking about your business from day one can help you when it comes time to sell it.

  • The benefits of starting a business that allows people to buy their time back.

  • The top ten business ideas that were submitted to us from the TropicalMBA listeners.
