I'd keep what I have and expand my current Candle, Bath & Body company. I love what I do.

I would open a craft shop, and then take handmade things from people and sell them for them for a reasonable price

Either an image makeover studio...new makeup, new hair, ideas for wardrobe...kinda like What not to Wear, but, locally and not so brutal. OR Work on my husband's wedding photography business, update everything OR increase my stock and business supplies for my Mary Kay business (easiest to do).

kathleen- sounds like your first idea would work well with your husband's business!

That sounds like it would be awesome, Amy! I would've absolutely loved that when I was a child.

If I could start any sort of business mine would probably be a not-for-profit one that takes in abused or abandoned animals, nurtures them back to health, and works to find good homes for them. I love doing things like that. We've taken in all kinds of animals and it's really good to watch them grow healthy and such!

I would open a place that is made just for kids to run and play. and have birthday parties. Kind of like chuck e.cheese but bigger and funner. the reason i pick this is because There is NOWHERE around here to have a small childs party at.

You're gonna put all these ideas in a file aren't you Amy? jk

I'd say something charitable, that makes you money and also helps give jobs and gives back, like a Youth park and rec center..etc

Since the hurricanes, I've wanted to open a hotel that would board animals.

Amy S. Aug 29, 2007, 8:50pm EDT

michael- that actually sounds like a great idea! i'm not sure how many buyers there would be, but you would at least have fun!

bundy- would that be a hotel with people too or just animals?

a gun shop with a shooting range and surplus goods outlet. all I'd have to do is attach a liquor store and I could call it "REDNECK HEAVEN" LOL

On one side a playground kind of like what Amy mentioned, but on the other side a book store, like Borders, with a tea and coffee shop attached ... where the food and drinks are better than the cafes at Borders. :)

One of the ideas that I've floated for years is a wedding center. My parents have 14 acres of mostly pasture. I would landscape each acre in different colors of shrubs and flowers. The house would be a place for a photographer studio, renting wedding dresses, buying invitations and announcements, flower arrangements and centerpieces from the gardens and such. It would make for some beautiful outdoor weddings for people who live in the typical small lot with mostly green landscaping.

Needed to add. There is a state school for retarded people in our county. I've always thought that some could be trained to work with the plants, making them employable in the outside world. I'd have a greenhouse/training center to support that part of the project.
