Some of the best business ideas come out of personal experience or crisis.
Kate watched several family members go through some rough medical times in their later years.
From that experience came a burning desire to start a business that served people 60 years old and older.
FYI, Kate had gone to nursing school – but she hated it. So she had no interest in working on the medical side.
In fact, Kate was really specific with her coach about what she did – and didn’t want – in a business.
It had to:
- be a business she can run alone
- not involve direct medical care
- potentially involve teaching and helping
- not be too expensive to start and generate income within a short time
- involve some time working alone and some time with others
- involve no driving
- ideally, include research and problem-solving
- not require more education
- not involve the insurance industry
- potentially use her gift for writing
- not involve running errands for people
