@jfos I think you have a great point. My point is if you are not going to do something with the idea why not give it to someone that will. Another point would be if it’s a small business that you wouldn’t franchise why not share that, it’s not like we live in the same town and would be competing?
@pdworkin I thought that’s what I was doing. :) What’s the harm with that anyway.
Overall I believe the world is big enough for people to run the same businesses without taking from the mouths of the person with the original idea. People in general have a scarcity mentality or competition mentality as in if I give you my idea there won’t be enough business left for me to profit off of or if I give you my idea I’m doing nothing with you might make money and I’ll feel bad because I didn’t do anything with it. Plus let’s say you started a business you’d have the advantage of starting first which is very powerful, but if your business is successful people will clone it anyway.
@PerryDolia I am serious. I’m not sure I 100% agree with “A business with little or no capital makes little or no profit.” I could start a service type business with little or no capital but make pretty decent money, some examples would be computer repair business, website design, photography, VA. Some other examples seems like the doggy dooty picker uppers make some good profit, another would be several years ago I know someone that stocked phonecards into vending machines they bought they started with one vending machine then had 20+ and made lots of money.
