    and now he has a large ice house (actually sells ice with self service dispensers and all that).
    son I actually looked into the ice vending business several years ago and those bas s are expensive (to get the good ones). Ice House America is pretty much the best machine that you can get and they protect their buyers with zip code territory rights, but most of the good territories are already taken. they have a couple different size machines, but for the big one that has the capability of generating up to $50K in yearly revenue cost $125K at the time. I know a guy who owns two of them and between the two he is lucky to clear $80K a year in total revenue and you can expect your profit to be about a third of that by the time you pay rent, water, etc.. he has told me that although the machines are a decent investment, they often have a lot of mechanical issues during his "busy/summer time" and you need to own several of them to make any money.

    still though not a bad investment, but a time consuming one. I backed out because considering he invested $250K into his two machines only to see about $25K a year in profit ... there are many other more profitable business ventures out there for that kind of investment. the only way the ice vending machines would be worth getting into is if you had about a million to invest into owning 10 or so machines. but again, the biggest problem is that most of the good areas are already taken.

    That thing with that though, You would need some kind of experience for whatever trade you're trying to get into.

    Lawncare is another route.
    You definitely could hire a few people from this site for det

    An internet sports betting agency.
    I'd put $5K towards this if you want, Deep. I already have a small clientele list for football season....could expand if need be.

    Start a photography business; that's the hip thing to do nowadays. You don't even have to be good at it. Most of the people I know that are in it aren't.

    a lot of truth in this. most photographers nowadays are just in it to take photos of women. 90% of them have zero skill or talent. the camera and computer does 95% of the work for them.

    BR, dropping truth bombs, as usual.

    The people I mentioned seemingly ARE in it to take pictures of women, and when they don't, they take pictures of any remotely beautiful place or area, then put it through Instagram and make a profit.

    I wasn't suggesting ice vending, but snow cone vending. I was just saying the profit the guy made allowed him to build an ice house (he still sells cones).

    Idea: Company called "Short Changed" (It's not only funny because of lol short, but the idea behind it - could this be any more perfect?!) - To start it up: Truck or Van, a couple of hourly workers & some small equipment (GPS, dollies...). A company where if you feel you were "short changed" in some sort of settlement (alimony, child support or something else) you can hire short changed to make your installment payment/settlement payment in all coins/change. So you are pissed because of the alimony? Call up short changed bring the amount you owe + the fee for using us and we show up at their house to deliver payment in all coins. For an extra fee, we can video tape the experience and capture the look on their face when they get their $1000 monthly payment in all pennies.

    they are growing here.

    Actually I saw an article in the houston chronicle about a company that has food grocery trucks. These trucks accept foodstamps and drive around poor neighborhoods and accept delivery requests (so you can either flag them down if you see them or call up and have them come directly to your house). They had a limited food selection and they were growing exponentially (98% of their revenue came from food stamps). You could do this starting with one truck and a few neighborhoods and go from there.
    They are already in SA. Saw one a couple of days ago.

    Go to trucking school and get your CDL with tanker cert. Drivers in south Texas are raking in 100K a year easy.

    I find it hilarious that some of you think owning your own company means you don't have to work.

    Idea #2: Credit Union help kiosk. Can lease a kiosk for about $1500 a month. There is a huge demand for information on how to join a credit union. With over 49% of all business majors electing to major in Finance, there is a huge customer base of people who need this service.

    Back to the OP, food trucks are all over Honolulu too. Trades are probably safe because they require semi specialized knowledge, and hard work.

    Hey DPG do you know what college Tyson graduated from...

    I will tell you what I tried once...a good friend of mine once crashed his sisters novelty / sex toy party for women only...they kicked him out but it got me to thinking I could host some of these for women who want to teach their men how to ...so I bought all kinds of ass and vagina replicas and even a few dildo's for the men who are cucks...I hosted a womens only party and taught them how to show their man how to stroke it properly and sold my products for 30% more than I bought them for. It was a huge success I've conducted at least 3 parties like this so far...and if you really want it to work well you can use yourself as the test case but you have to make sure the women at the party will allow it...and most importantly NO SEX during these parties it's just to educate women...

    I'm not worried about you stealing my idea because I don't think any of you have the balls like me to pull it off
