One man's junk is another's treasure - this is the core idea behind the best small business idea that became big on the Internet.
eBay.
It started with the owner selling a broken laser pointer on his website - and he thought that no one would buy this - and that it was a dumb idea at that time.
Before he knew it someone had made an offer on his broken pointer and it was sold.
He was so curious that he actually called the buyer up and asked him if he'd read that the pointer was broken.
And the buyer informed him that he collected broken laser pointers.
Thus eBay was born.
My point is don't rule out your junk - literally and metaphorically.
Literally, you can sell you junk on eBay and make some quick money.
You might not be able to make a lot of money online from this.
But you will certainly make more money than if you did not try at all.
Metaphorically - don't discard your ideas when they come to you.
In fact write down your ideas and follow through with them.
The best small business ideas have started with a 'silly' thought and have become big.
Think of eBay, Amazon, Zappos, dpreview, and other such companies making millions online.
All of them were small business ideas - until they became big.
You just might have a similar idea that could become big with the right direction and some follow through.
Think of your business idea as being a small child.
For the child to grow up and become a man, he/she has to be taught a lot of things.
How to talk, how to walk, how to think, how to do anything.
Just like you would not abandon a small child - because the child was just small and didn't know anything.
Don't abandon your small business ideas - because it's a small business and it'll never work.
Work on it - and it will work.
If for some reason you feel that this is not working for you - or that you are spinning your wheels than the best thing for you to do is find someone who has gone through the process and follow them.
Do exactly what they are doing, what they do and how they do it.
Just by following someone who has taken their small business ideas to the next level will help you get to making massive money online as well.
