Most people only have part time these days so find out how much you can get done with your extra time for free and only sweat equity with these ideas. The definition of entrepreneurship is spending half you time and money on something more profitable.

What did people do before big business???

Remember the time/money ratio. You want to spent the least amount of time while making the most amount of money. Also risk/reward. You always want the reward to far outweigh any risk. And the best businesses that never fail are ones with zero overhead. You want low start up cost or barrier to entry. low holding costs. And low maintenence costs. all casts are entropy. If there were no taxes or business expenses or operating expenses or overhead then all businesses would be successful and never fail.

But most important is what you do has to be fun and easy and low stress and consume little time and have low liability, and be profitable. Ask yourself if you were losing money working where you work if you'd still work there? If the answer is no, then you don't like working there and need to find something you actually want to do.

With these 100% profit zero barrier to entry ideas you could very quickly have enough to buy a new car or even a new house worth 20,000$ if you save and are smart about it. By then you will basically be a rich person no matter where you work since you're saving 500$/mo on rent. After that everything is affordable by saving 6,000$/year or more. And you can buy a second house even faster and rent it out. That is the goal. Now people work for you!
