I would say to open an ice cream shop.For i would focus on the tastes and also the atmosphere that bring to people.What do you think and i would like to hear you guys thinking? And probably this would not cost too much as those big busniness,and more suitable for starters like me.

I would start my own school and prove that it's possible to teach each kid, that it's a bad thing to label a person, that each kid/person has many talents which he should use and develop as much as possible. No matter in what way he thinks or what culture you come from.

There are many ways we can learn or can be educated. You need to find and be willing to find the right way for each person. It only takes some real attention, time for a person to find out and some creativity to find the right way. Some learn by reading the manual, others learn by copying what is done.. both ways are fine. With both ways you can be very succesful. You will never be succesful if people label you, give up on you because of that label and break down your self esteem. You can climb all mountains if you believe in it!

Hi jricky! If you are planning to open that kind of business, you should take into consideration the place where you will be going to put it up. This is a very good business. You should also add some alternatives on the store as some people might want to have other food aside from ice cream. As for me, I would like to have an internet cafe because I love to work online and to discover the possibilities it would offer.

LOL,thanks for suggest and i think that would be really well-rounded.And i think that summer is hot and if i could do this only focused on the ice cream,it would be great to make it popular and be welcomed.Thanks again for share.

Putting up a small business is one of my medium term plan. Lets say in 2 to 3 years time, I will be a proud owner of a laundry shop if given the chance. My wife and I think of this kind of business because we think this will make big. We live in a small city full of busy people - students and working people. I think we can help make their lives easier by giving our service. For now, I'm working on the details of my plan. Hopefully, it can be realized.

Hi jricky, if I will given a chance to have a small business I want to have a small food cart/ food stand since I love cooking and eating. Also food is one of the best business in my place where most of the people are working and has no time to cook. Hope i can have one soon to earn extra money. Good luck to your ice cream business.

I would open up a bakery. I love baking and I'm halfway decent at it, so I would have a lot of fun! However, I think I might get bored with it eventually, and I would also feel bad about tempting people with unhealthy treats. So, I'll just have to stick with my current job -- writing.

It is great to provide people good articles.And once i've dreamed to have my own books.lol,but you can still treat bake as your big interest,and it's also cool to bake delicious bread.

An ice cream shop sounds like a lot of fun! I love going to Cold Stone for a cup or cone of ice cream. There's is the best! I would come to your ice cream shop if you had one. That just sounds like a really fun place to work! I actually have my own small business that I already own and run. It's what I chose (and it kind of chose me, in a way!) I started selling interchangeable handbags almost a year ago. It'll be a year next month (December)! I can't believe it's been that long. I still have my full-time job also, but my purse business is my favorite job. I hope someday to go full time with my purse business. If you're interested in checking it out, the link is on my myLot profile under my avatar. It's slogan is "One Bag: Endless Possibilities." It's true. You can take one handbag and transform it into so many different looks. You don't even have to change purses! It's pretty neat. Anyway, that's the small business that I have and would do all the time if I could. Maybe I'll be there eventually. I hope you are able to open up your ice cream shop soon!

I would love to have a book store. Start small and work up to a full range of new and old books. I would specialize in rare books and first additions. There would be a full range of categories and comfortable over stuffed chairs where people can set and read if they like. And a place where they can buy a latte if they like.

I would like to open an art gallery, that is one of the my big dreams. I already have an online gallery, but I would like to have a physical gallery that people could visit in person. Another option would be a small arts and crafts shop. I like to make different kinds of crafts and it could be great to have a shop where I could sell those things. At the moment you can buy some of handmade cards in my online gallery, but I don't sell much that way and it would be much better to have a shop where people could see my things in person. I have also thought about other options like a cafe, a restaurant or a hotel. I would like to create an unusual hotel and decorate the rooms with things from around the world, but that is just a dream.

No,i think that it is not a dream since you are not dreaming but starting to do something to realize the thoughts.I suppose art gallary is so artistic and once you have a goal,i think that is the first step toward success.Just learn some thing to start up then,and also money is the biggest element i think.Good luck and i'm looking forward for your good news.

I'd like to have a lotto outlet, a barbershop or parlor, money exchange or an internet cafe. Either one of them is my choice. It's nice reading to all mylotters to their small business plans and I love it. Thanks for this post, it gives me idea for my plan.

Don't forget to tell me if you really open an ice cream shop. I love to eat it. Maybe if I came around your place, I can take a look... Hmm... I have some choice actually. I want to open an accessory shop, handmade though. Because I like to make a bracelet, necklace, even key chain. My friends say that it's weird, since i don't like using an accessory for myself. I also want to open an book store or maybe loan some books. It's my 1st hobby, reading. I have some other option, but accessory and books is in my-higest-list.

If I knew all the secrets of how to produce them, I'd launch my own make-up line. Even if it wasn't the most profitable business (because I'm sure I wouldn't be able to sell them as cheap as manufactured products and the market is full), but it would be so much fun :).

That is the reason why i'm deciding to make that one.I have a favourite star these days and he help his mother to own an ice cream shop on mother's day.I suppose it is really a sweet idea.lol,hopefully one day would achieve that.

First I would open an online fashion business, so whether i'm at home or not it is still running I just have to check it from time to time. And it wouldn't cost that much since I am just starting a little investment will do then just expand. Internet is the fastest way to get things done so it is more suitable for someone like me who checks my emails and social networking sites from time to time.

a pleasant day jricky1, on my part, i want to pursue my business having a coffee shop. better call it, i am aiming to have a coffee bar. as i have observed, a lot of people loves to drink coffee, even the younger generations now a days, loves to drink it. aside from that, i can somehow say, that coffee is a type of drink that you can have for all season - winter, spring, summer and fall - still people will drink their cup of coffee.

I would like to own a consignment shop where so much would go for charity of what was sold (to charity that I see and know needs it )not a scam but for needy people and children of needs. like food and clothing etc. the rest would go for the bills to keep the place going and what is needed. what I sold would have to clean and if not sold has to be picked up by a certain time. if sold they need to understand so much that was sold goes to help another and the rest is to help them. I would like to see the charity go to a differant place each month and not the same, or emergency help anytime. that is my hope for a business to benifit everyone. it is hard to get started although it is hard because everything is so high to begin with, rent etc. but that is what I always wanted to do.

I would like to open a pastry shop. I love baking and eating lol so I think I would love to have something like it. I don't want a big store too. I also want to have a accessories and/or clothing store. Maybe I can choose to only sell blouses or dresses to be special.

Just do it if you already make plan for it. We have to try ...then have a chance to earn money more.. I wanna sell ice-tea. What i know is the ice-tea seller can earn much money a day, especially in summer time with a small capital in the beginning time...
