The Success Syndicate

What’s a business idea or side hustle you think could work but you’ll probably never pursue? What’s stopping you, and what would it take to make it happen?

Here’s mine: a commercial cleaning business. The idea is simple—I’d find the clients and build the relationships, then outsource the actual cleaning to a small, reliable crew. 

A friend of mine from high school actually did this, and now he’s running a very successful small business. We talked through this idea in high school but he actually went and did it. It’s pretty wild to see how well it’s working for him. I think it goes to show that you can make just about anything work, if you put your mind to it. 

What’s your “almost” idea—the one you know could be good but, for whatever reason, isn’t in your plans? Why haven’t you pursued it?

Have I ever thought about opening my own business? Of course! I have been considering the idea of starting my very own small and charming family cafe in my neighborhood. However, at the moment, these plans are just mere musings. So, what holds me back from taking the leap? Firstly, it is the fear of the unknown. I lack experience in the industry, which makes me apprehensive about the challenges that may come my way. Secondly, my perfectionist tendencies play a significant role. I strive for excellence in every aspect: from the quality of the food to the ambiance of the cafe. The thought of not being able to achieve perfection is daunting.
I wonder if there are any cafe owners here? It would be interesting to hear about your experience and maybe get some useful advice)
