What kind of start up business can a 22 yr old student do, with little time living in Hawaii?

Question

I'm 22, I go to school in Hawaii, and I have 2 friends who own their own business'. One has a successful auto detailing business from home, and the other cleans houses and condos and also does fairly well. They can do it on their time on their schedule, and make tons, which is exactly what I need as a student in Hawaii... I just need a little help figuring out what to do! Any ideas? would be appreciated! Mahalo! Thanks!

Answer 1

I have an idea for you.  I have a friend that has her own business and does very well.  You might want to take a look at the telecommunications industry and collaborate with and have your own business within that industry.  You can partner up with a 15 year old company.  The largest direct selling telecommunications service provider in the world. (don't just limit yourself to Hawaii either!  you can go world wide!)  They've been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc.  Inc 500 rated them the 22nd fastest growing company. Donald Trump has endorsed them, uses the products and is highly involved in this company.  They market in services people use every day and pay for anyway. Things such as local and long distance telephone services, Internet services, digital and video phone services, VOIP, Satellite TV and all the major celluar phone providers like Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Altell, Nextell.  You help people save money on services that they are already using, or can offer them services that they don't have.  After helping someone on their existing services, or putting someone on a new service, every single month these people pay their bills, you make a percentage every single month, month after month.  That's just one way you make money in this business.

So there's one idea for you.

Hello,

I have a solution to your question.

Let me ask you, What does your financial blueprint look like right now, on this day what is your subconscious financial blueprint?  

It must be set for success!  If not then nothing you will learn, and nothing you will do will ever make much of a difference.

All wealthy people in this world, including myself, has to have a financial freedom mindset.  It all starts with the mind and your thoughts.

So your mindset for wealth creation should be this:  To create wealth you must believe that you are at the sterling wheel of your life especially your financial life, if you don't believe this then you must inherently believe that you have little or no control over your life and therefore you have little to no control over your financial success.

You have to believe you are the one that creates your Success!

Answer 6

whatever you do you must find or work towards  owning your own business, something you love and have a passion for, (only you will know what that is.)

1 : Create a plan of what you want and when you want it..... this will help you keep on track.

2 : become an expert in your chosen field (specialize), most of us spread ourselves to thin and find no time to complete or compete. ( People don't mind paying for the right advice)

3  : Find out who's your main competition and make you service better. ( Always look for a high competitive market " If these lots of competition there must be money to be made")

4 : Always ask for referrals (word of mouth is the best business you can have), Cost nothing and you won't have to resell, because the customer already has the trust of the referrer.

Specialize in one area of you chosen field so that you can build your knowledge

I'm not mechanically inclined when it comes to auto repair. Last year I had an accident with my Nissan Multi and I wasn't sure how to fix them. I tried to search the Internet for tips, but the procedures were way too difficult for my skills. I ended up going to the dealship for my repairs. The dealership tends to charge more than mom and pop repair shops, but they've seen all sorts of situations (car insurance problems, repair warranty issues, etc) and they seem to always find a way to help me. Maybe you can try calling auto repair shops in Hawaii to see if they can help you. http://www.autorepairshoplocator.com/Haw...

Answer 8

You've got it backwards man... you're supposed to start your own business, then you're supposed to move to Hawaii.  That's my plan.

Answer 9

Your best bet is to start your own surf lessons, well, if you can even surf. What part of Hawaii do you live in?

Answer 10

It sounds like a home based business, leveraging the internet might be what you're looking for.  I have my own health and wellness business, which i do from the luxury of my own home.  i started with only 300 bucks, and now i make that much a day.  it's easy, and you dont need any experience, just a willingness to learn.  i make my own hours, as a matter a fact, i haven't done any work in two weeks (summer vacation).  if you are interested, checkout my site or e-mail me.  this isn't a scam, just trying to help: http://www.thinkgreenbiz.com/

if that doesn't interest you, try bartending.  i bartended in college and met a ton of people and made good money!

good luck!

Answer 11

Service business are the easiest and cheapest to start. You will want to take stock of what you are good at, have done in the past and would be willing to do everyday. Once you figure that out, get your equipment (lawn mower or cleaning supplies etc..)

Next, Advertise. when i was in college i pressurewashed houses. I went to the library and printed off a c**p load of b/w fliers nothing fancy and went door to door until i started getting leads. This is the key. You have to market all the time and never stop. do it cheap

www.Image32.com has great pricing on signs and graphic design. Banners, magnetic signs, and bandit signs work great for advertising cheap.
