What makes Business Outside the Box different from other business idea startup books?
Although most books on business startups impart valid information, they tend to focus on commonly known business startups like home inspection, carpet cleaning, and janitorial service. If these kinds of businesses appeal to you, I suggest that you buy 101 Best Businesses to Start. It is a good book and offers solid value for $19.95.
In contrast, Business Outside the Box provides a brief, usually less than 250 words, description of business ideas that you've probably never heard of before. Many of the ideas have live links to web sites for related or supporting information. The startup cost of these ideas range from less than $50 to over $100,000. At least 70% of the business ideas can be home-based. Also, there are 18 Internet-based businesses that don't require you to ever leave your house or apartment. Each idea is also accompanied by a series of three icons. They will give you an idea of startup costs, what kind of facility (home-based, workshop, storefront, etc) the business will require, and the startup time required to get the business going.
WARNING: Business Outside the Box is written in the common vernacular (conversational style). If you are looking for great literature, may I suggest "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens? I'm just a normal guy with no formal literary training, whose brain is constantly assaulted with rogue ideas. When you read this book, it's kind of like I'm your goofy friend sitting on your living room couch spewing out one idea after another. In other words, I write the way I talk, and I type like I think. Some of the ideas are probably borderline wacko, but some of them have real merit. Which ones are worthwhile? I'll leave that up to you to decide. The descriptions of the ideas are fairly short and to the point. Like most busy people, I'm sure that you are not fond of lengthy discourses and just want useful information, not fluff. So, for the sake of brevity, not every detail is covered in the idea descriptions. This allows you, the reader, to "fill in the blanks" and come up with ideas of your own. That way, you can take ownership of an idea and "run with it" as though it was your own.
What is inside Business Outside the Box?
It is organized into four main sections: Startup Advice, Service Ideas, Product Ideas and Resources.
- Startup Advice: Straight forward advice on goal setting, partnerships, information gathering, employee relations, business resources, and marketing. This section also includes the step-by-step Action Plan for business startups.
- Service Ideas: This section has 122 mostly original service ideas, like The Landfill Broker, Game Show Service, Trucker's Buddy, Grounding, Action Fabrics and The Super Scout.
- Product Ideas: Here you will learn about new inventions such as the "WaterPlace", an idea that is easily built and has broad appeal, as it's based on a fast growing trend. I will also tell you about the "CEO Capsule" which will command a price at least six times more than your cost to build, market to, and setup for your well-heeled clients. Fifteen of the ideas are accessories for the pickup truck, most of which can be initially built in a small shop or garage. Many of the product idea descriptions are accompanied by full-color drawings to help you understand the key concepts of the idea.
- Resources: In this section I will give you over 60 annotated links to web sites that offer services, resources, and support for small businesses. I also give you links to software tools (mostly free) for small business. Some of these resource links contain information that is far more valuable than the price of this book.
