Need more ideas?

As I continue my search for possible good ideas for businesses in Grand Bahama, albeit small businesses that can grow I came across more from Entrepreneur Magazine. I am only giving those that can apply to us here. So how about being doing a Collectibles Searcher ... Collectibles searchers, who carefully canvas swap meets, thrift stores and garage sales, can collect a bundle locating objets d'art for clients. Once you've found your niche--be it antique lunch boxes, dolls or grandfather clocks--advertise your services in hobbyist publications, at collectibles stores, in specialty forums on the internet, or on eBay. Soon you'll be taking up a collection of your own. Now you would be interested in checking out pages such as Things to Sell and Looking to Buy on Facebook for some of these items. Diaper Delivery .. Some people are on the help the environment trip and would like to have cloth diapers that offer velcro and snaps instead of using the pins. This is a sl

As we continue our look at possible businesses here are some more. I implore you to also check out Flintstoneinc.co for ideas on how to get funding for all projects. So you can try being a computer tutor. This you can do through organizations in the community that offer adult classes as its more needed for adults than children who seem to birth with the ability. Espresso Cart ... this is something I see happening more around the various shops .. in Bellevue Business Depot and in Save More Drug Store I see that persons are now offering coffee and snacks. More can be offered at other places with he specialty teas and other stuff that are now being used by networking grouops. How about a garage cleaning and hauling service. It may not sound like something you want to do but with such Facebook sites as Things for Sale and Looking To Buy Freeport and Grand Bahama you can begin to make some money with consignment or slightly used items. Or just offer your truck to haul things for

So I had to smile this morning when I saw a comment left on the last post by an acquaintance from the Bahamas Investment Services Hank Ferguson who said, "Looking forward to the work - based on the intro you got lots of reading to do - #goodluck " Well, that's a challenge if ever I heard one and one I look forward to working on that, but even more to get more ideas from Hank himself. So if you feel like a tree and don't want to leave but need the volume of business that will make you a major success, always look to the global markets. This is all done online. Nothing new. I've said it before. But you may be wondering what to do and how? Today I looked up some low cost business start ups which I got from Entrepreneur magazine. Always keep in mind that there are ways in which these can be adapted for here and you decided if you want to sell to a local market and deal with the licensing process (not a bad idea) or set up an online shop and widen your marke

Harsh reality!

If you thank we cannot fix it, then I implore you to take a step back and let those who think we can fix it step forward. Even if its just one person who feels it can be fixed can make a fix that will affect all others. Now, how to fix it. Well look at the problem and see where we can make changes. Research on the island took me to a site called Grand Bahama Future blog. It felt like a ghost town left with the wind blowing. It has been abandoned. It takes more people seeing it and making posts. I took at look at what Wikipedia had to say about Grand Bahama's economy and found this snippet, " Tourism is the mainstay of the island's economy. The resort area at Port Lucaya and visits by cruise ships provide the bulk of this activity. Grand Bahama's tourism sector is complemented by the BORCO oil bunkering facility owned by Buckeye , [ 6 ] the South Riding Point oil storage and transhipment terminal owned by Statoil , [ 7 ] and a transshipment / container p

Can we fix it?

So its been a while since my last post and I must say that I have been overwhelmed by the negative vibes all around me. Then about two weeks ago I was called out of the blue to assist someone who said to me we agree that something good is about to happen in Freeport and its going to be big. I was ready and say "Yes". Then I started asking around if anyone knew of someone big that was in motion for Freeport but everyone I asked said they didnt know. About a week later when I saw the lady she said I told you something big is going to happen and I was lost and asked what? She said, didn't we agree the last time that something big is going to happen? Well the Bible says, where two or three are gathered in my name I'm in the midst to bless and I realized that we had touched and agreed on that. Yesterday I saw a movie in which after hearing about all the bad and negative things that are going on the word she asked the most important question, "Can we fix it
