Going into business for yourself is one of the bravest and most rewarding things you can do. Even though you may think of America as the land of big business, it's called the land of opportunity for a reason. More than 99 percent of the companies in the United States are considered small businesses.

Maybe you're one of many people who would love to go into business for yourself but are short on ideas. Sometimes all you need is a push in the right direction. If this seems like you, then keep reading to get some ideas to help you build a profitable company.

Discount Electronics Store

Everyone with opposable thumbs has fallen in love with electronic gadgets. The problem with many devices is that they're too expensive for many consumers. If you sell the latest tech at a discount, then you can build a lucrative business from the ground up.

The main issue with selling premium products at a decreased price is finding the right supplier. To meet your needs, you should turn to a supplier like Direct Liquidation. Liquidation prices are much lower than the cost of general merchandise that's never been opened or used.

Health & Wellness Store

It seems like everyone has gone health crazy within the last few years. It's great that people are more conscious about health—especially for entrepreneurs. Consumers are buying holistic healing products and organic fruits and veggies by the truckload these days.

One trend among people who want to get healthier is switching from regular cigarettes to hemp-based cigarettes. Hemp is different from marijuana in that it doesn't have nearly as much tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as weed does.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is the most prevalent active cannabinoid in hemp and counteracts the euphoria-inducing effects of THC. CBD is also a useful tool against addiction. It also relieves chronic pain and reduces inflammation. With so many benefits, CBD flower products will fly off your shelves and your health store will soar.

Consulting

If you've got skills and expertise in a specific field, then some companies are willing to pay handsomely for it. You can build a successful business out of helping other companies to grow their business. As a consultant, you will get to put a dollar value on your knowledge.

Motivational Speaker

You can also make an excellent living as a motivational speaker. Fortune 500 companies shell out millions of dollars every year to get intelligent, high-energy people to come in and shake up their employees. If you have a talent and passion for bringing the best out of others, then maybe you should start booking events.

Marijuana Dispensary

Medical cannabis is legal in 47 states, and recreational marijuana is legal in 11 states. As more states jump on the legalization bandwagon, marijuana should become the next big cash crop. Legal weed has already become a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States.

As more people enjoy edibles, extracts, and other THC products, the marijuana industry will only continue to grow exponentially. The only question is, will you be part of that growth?

Property Investment

If you're looking for a tried and true business to get into, then property investment is it. Of course, your property is subject to the same laws of supply and demand that other businesses are, but you can sell or manage your own property.

Some people like the idea of flipping houses because it's a pretty quick return on your investment. You can also go the route of property management and operate as the landlord of your property.
