Ready-to-eat line of heat and serve savory bread puddings

integrated product life cycle consulting: from R&D to product development to marketing to sales based on both internal (HR accountability and optimization) and external (lead generation and media optimization against SFA/CRM) intra-company feedback loops.

chain of "authentic" Asian grocery stores that are clean, well-lit, have clear explanations on the shelves for the odder goods as well as cooking classes so you know how to use the ingredients. Focus on Indian, Chinese and Japanese.

[Schumi]

Motorsports consultation.

data acquisition, setups, testing and evaluation.

I'm actually starting process of fleshing out said dream business soon. I'm one of those people who has seen the norms and thought "I can do that, for half the price"...

I see a lucrative future in tattoo removal.

In the lower 48, hook up with the government/Acorn and build low income housing with their money and make millions using their contractors. A perpetual job because in five years when they fall to the ground you can do it all again with tax money.

I've always wanted to open either my own surfshop and shape my own boards, or i want to open my own restaurant on the water with a big deck over the water with docking for boats.

A fishing tackle sales and reel repair business in Tamarindo,


Oh that's right, I did that. Back to low income housing.

[HardDrive]

I plan on opening a business in 2010. But its so boring I refuse to tell you what it is.

My dream business? Manufacturing an ultra high end AK-47 variant here in the USA. Something that would sell for $2-3k. All forged and milled. The bolt carrier would be a piece of art.

[craigster59]

Sports bar/ laundromat. Or an "Internet Cafe" type of babysitting service geared towards 9-15 y.o. kids. Parents can dump them off with their computers or cell phones and they can surf/text to their little hearts content. Figuring out a "rate sheet" with add ons is what I've got to figure out.

THIS! Genius!

I love going to the Japanese supermarket where at least 5 different foods are labeled "Fish Cake" and they are all wildly different colors.
