OK you businessmen out there, and maybe you wanna be businessmen. What plans have you got for the near future [ye i know cheeky question]

Do you established guys plan to offer any new services ?? or plan on buying any new kit?

Do any of you employed guys plan on starting up on your own ??

Me i plan on going into the operated plant hire business !!
 
Of course publicity is the engine of business - you need to tell all about what your doing!
 
I'm going to cut right back on my contracting work, just do the nice local arb jobs. anything big i'll sub out.
And of course, I'm going to build up my machinery sales business!..
 
Good question .. I want to start another new buisness but have no idea how or what since i no nothing about anything .Tree work just kinda came to me but , id really like to try something new . any ideas? believe it or not im thinking of trying my hand at retail. Likely hate it but who knows? cool topic
 
Funny you should ask Rolla, First thing on my list when I get back to Buffalo is start my own tree care business. I've been buying lots of gear while I'm here, I got the paperwork for a New York state business permit, I'm looking for insurance quotes, and trying to come up with a formal business plan. This might be hard, I'm also planning on going to school part time for physicians assistant. Ummm, getting married too. :dizzy:
 
I'd like to find a biz where I do not have to deal with customers, employees, equipment breakdowns, maintainence, phone calls,answering services, paperwork, filing cabinets, taxes, accountants, and the nitwit at Subway that can't make a chicken sandwich the same way 2 days in a row with written instructions. :(
 
I would just like to build my business up enough to where I am just doing sales and I have a crew doing most of the work and I just help them out. I think at the present rate I will be there in a year. I am 52 years old so I think that anymore career changes are out of the question.
 
im going to start up naked housecleaning for bored housewives
 
i was thinking of retiring :)
but my wife says she see's too much of me already
so i suppose i'll have to keep working

Every business will need customers, or who will you sell your product or service to??? Possible suggestion, selling drugs? :p
 
Cat trees

I'm gonna go around to construction site dumpsters and scoop up all that scrap lumber they throw out and make cat trees outta them. Have you seen what they want for those things? Meow. I don't need insurance for that or any employees. Maybe make a few extra bucks.
 
I was thinking of opening a massage practice in the sunroom...
Maybe call it "Goddess worship massage"

and the tag line.... when the goddess in you needs to be touched...

that would have to starta as a labor of love though... I can see that! lol
