If you don't have an idea yet, why are you refusing job offers to start a yet-to-be-determined company?
Anytime someone asks "What kind of business should I start", the correct answer is none. You should continue learning, working on things and find your passion. That passion will create an undeniable pull that will lead you to starting a business you'll stick with through good times or bad.
- vidar 16y agoSort of like asking "Am I in love?", "Am I popular?", if you have to ask, the answer is no.
- martinkallstrom 16y agoLearning from being employed is sensible and risk-averse but not the only way to learn. Why not learn by starting a company? If you happen to be driven by risk and easily bored by safety, it may be the fastest way to learn. It is also the direct way to validate what experience and knowledge you actually lack. While employment gives you the opportunity to learn a lot of stuff quickly, you also spend a lot of time not learning. And the field of learning is narrowed down to your job description. Might be a plus or a minus. Starting a company enforces multiple broad and steep learning curves. Might be a plus or a minus.
- vgurgov 16y agogood advice, but i dont think it works in 100% cases. do you think wufoo guy was sooo passionate about online forms? sometimes you just can clearly recognize some opportunity (or need) and start from there.
