I have no job, no capital, what entrepreneurial idea did any one of you come up with that later flourished albeit with no starting nest egg of finance and that you worked by yourself? Cheers
What idea could I copy from you?

Hey, well there is this business model which could be of help to you if you are a good middleman , if you’re interested let me know
You can copy my idea if you want. I write about them in this book… https://old.reddit.com/user/sidehustle2025/comments/1c0l98q/i_made_750000_from_my_side_hustles_and_decide_to/.

Affiliate redirection. Takes no money because you can use social channels for free to get people to click or buy things. Use affiliates to redirect to and earn money that way.
0 investment unless you could the phone/internet you have.
This sub in a nutshell.

Sell prepared fruit. Get small cooler couple bucks in cucumber & others fruits. Cover in Tajin & Chamoy go sell at mechanic shops. They are hot outside & will pay $5 a cup
If you’re willing to get capital my first two and current businesses was a smoke shop and vending machines. Smoke shop cost 21,000 to start opened it w a buddy and now 3 years later we’re about to break 50k in revenue a month for it.
Get a job in the industry you want to start a business in, learn the industry by working at that job and being extra helpful and extra curious, save money to start your business, then when you have savings and good industry knowledge, strike out on your own. That’s how most people do it.
Well, you could decide that you’re going to do it anyway and just “do or die”.
You will find a LOT of people who this worked for.
People like me, that took years to rebuild their life after they actually “died” are fewer and further between. I *almost* made it, but a mistake cost me and money was required to fix it. I didn’t have it. It all fell apart. My credit was fucked. Many people I promised things to were let down. I was devastated. It took YEARS to get back to zero.
So, you COULD copy me and just find something and be cock-sure you can make it work. If you win it’s a fun story. If it doesn’t, you lost many years.
OR, you could do this: get your finances in line so that you have as long as it takes to build then give up your social time and use it to build a business on the side. It’s slow, and kinda boring and won’t make any great stories.
I am going to go ahead and recommend the latter. Which means, if you’re not in great financial situation fix that first. Get a better, or a second job. Tighten up your finances. Pay down debt. Build credit.
Meanwhile, assess your strengths and weaknesses. Study the market(s) that interest you. Build some basic skills.
Then, when you do it commit to something plan it out and DO THE WORK, until it works out.
There is great survivorship bias in business. You don’t hear from the casualties. Well, here’s a voice from the grave telling you “it’s possible to lose”.
Read SunTzu’s Art of War.
Get a Prius. Drive Uber taking smart wealthy people to the airport in the morning. Use the Daily Cash out option to stack $3-!5k over a few weeks.
I have two SFH lease purchase you can buy within 12-18months, for $3500 down.
Be a recruiter. You just call people and ask them if they need a job. Hook them up with someone who’s hiring and boom you get money if they stick.
Health care is a hiring frenzy.
