Brainstorming for the Future Entrepreneur

As far as being employed in Jamaica land we love goes, I've gotten my feet wet. Those experiences quickly opened my eyes to the fact that working for someone else is not where I want to be. Not if I hope to maintain said job for a long period of time, I'm much too easily angered to last in that type of a setting.


If I seriously look at it, I simply cannot bind myself to slaving away behind a desk for minimal pay despite maximum efforts. And even though it might not be like that for all work environments, it certainly was for all the ones I was 'fortunate' enough to have been a part of. Which means I am resolutely looking for an alternative.

That decided, the first option that came to me was entrepreneurship. And if that was a plan I was willing to consider I might as well start learning all that I could about being an entrepreneur so that I could start putting in the necessary work and stop wasting energy developing hatred for future bosses.


So far I have three ideas and I'll mention them all so you can tell me which you think would work best.



Idea 1: I know I like the idea of making money from some social endeavour. So I tried my hand at blogging a while back. And, you know, it could work if I can find enough people willing to annoy me constantly so I can make a ridiculously judgemental critique about their person then write about it. 

I'd be a good online Ragashanti. You wouldn't have to waste credit and call in, you could steal net from your neighbour come online and look at my jokes time and time again. That's longevity right there so that must be a good plan right? Well let's hope. (*For the Raga sample click this link: http://iamsimplyunemployed.blogspot.com/)


Idea 2: I thought about the time I entertained the idea of going into the food industry. Even though I have admitted to having very few taste buds (by few I mean if rounded of I'll have a grand total of two) and maybe, just maybe I've done my research well enough there to know you need more than that to successfully make food for others to willingly consume more than once, there should be some reason as to why I can watch so much food network channel with such interest. 

Idea 3: I just happen to be a female and I just happen to like clothes. Not enough to make them match all that well but certainly enough to know I'd enjoy knowing how to make a blouse or two. I'd be even happier to be able to make a business off that skill set.


So, what's your vote?
