    I have some ideas, they're all fairly easy to run. One is a pool hall with around 4 pool tables. A couple of ways to make profit margins: charging pool players by the hour or buy those coin pool tables+ selling drinks or food, etc. IF, your place becomes a high traffic place (aka Facebook) you can prolly charge companies for ad space. Or install a vending machine or atm. Again, all part of profit margin. Pool maybe the business, but exploit profit margins where you can. (aka if McDonalds break even on hamburgers but they're Mcoffees make exceptional profit margins to keep it goin.)

    Another one is investing and getting a good deal on a popular parking space. Basically charging $10-$20 per car. Imagine $10 per car and you get 30 cars per day, thats $300 per day, $9000 per Month. Events like 4th of July parking space makes a killing.

    A bar!

    I've always looked into starting up a bar. Many examples I take from are Northwest bars.

    Entrepreneurship is hard work.

    I'm running my own business developing websites right now, but the projects are few and far in between. I keep running out of motivation. I need an energy boost.

    Children's glam rock fashion line, Rebel Royale based in Orange County, and upper class Los Angeles community. A little catwalk for the kids to model their clothes in, a mixture of rock and classic.

    Another business I would open is a dessert boutique cafe filled with all my favorites like French Macarons, eclairs, chocolate covered strawberry in all assorted toppings, petit fiore cakes, candies from around the world, cheese/fruit and artisan bread platters, with a wide selection of dessert wines, gifts, stationaries, etc, the place will be decked out in 18th century interior completed with a Louis XV all white fireplace, with oil paintings of fruits and wine and the famous "The cup of hot chocolate". Worldclass sophistication written all over it. It will be called..."Pretty Little Things!"

    I have two in mind.

    #1 Start up a private law firm litigating cases specifically targeted & serviced to men in regards to the injustice being done to man aka ManJustice. We would probably advertise it in terms of sexism being done to men.

    Cases I would accept:
    • Unfairness of the court being biased to women in regards to child custody.
    • Physical altercations occurring between a man & a women, where the man is only at fault.
    • False rape accusations towards a man.
    • False or manipulative pregnancies targeting a man.
    • Manipulation/sabotage of a man's finances.

    And whatever else we can prove to be injustice to a man, in accordance to the law, of course. But then women might claim our firm is sexist by only providing service to men, which might be a problem. Still haven't found a way out of that, so this is put on hold.

    #2 Gentlemen's Club, now this, women can't berate. It would probably include a hotel with a couple other luxuries a man could only dream of. Maybe even a resort for men or potential retirees, think about that.. Golfing, fishing, scuba diving with a Hooters babe, I can see the prospects of business right there.
