Even without the pressure from the recession, many find that making both meet is a tough task in the present day. Fast food, fast life, consumerism, and competitive attitude have pushed people into a living-beyond-their-means mode. Many look out for small business ideas so they could add to their overall income and live the lifestyle they envisage for themselves and their families.
How To Find What Is Best For You
While you are brainstorming to find out the best option for yourself, you need to keep in mind only one thing: your inner satisfaction. This is the key to identify the right business for yourself. An excellent way to find this out without any bias from the logical side of your brain is to ask yourself this question: "what would I do, if I had all the money in the world, and work for me would mean only pleasure?"
Take out a pen and paper when you ask yourself this question and be prepared to surprise yourself with a long list of "I will die of pleasure doing this" occupations. Yes, there would be many things that you would like to do for pleasure. From among that list, identify those, which could be monetized. For example, if you love painting, this hobby could be used to create frescos on the walls of homes or create exquisite stained glass windows, and so on. If you love cooking, you could offer cooking classes or start a catering service.
The important thing is that you should be wildly passionate about what you choose to do. In the morning when you wake up, you should be rearing to go, not looking for excuses to stay in bed. There should fire in your belly to do more in whatever area you choose; you should be hungry for success, for being number one.
When you feel that you could spend your life doing that particular work, you have found one of the best small business ideas there are for you. Remember, there will always be more than one, so be ready to choose or merge them into one common ground.

Placida Acheru
Personal/Business Coach
Those who now struggle to create or increase demand for whatever they offer (products, services, or a combination of both) must be able to answer three basic questions. All are important but the first two are much less important than is the third:
1. Who are you?
2. What do you do?
3. Why should I care?
Seth Godin is one of the most thought-provoking business authors whose insights (especially those provided in Small Is the New Big) can provide substantial assistance to answering the aforementioned questions.
"If your target audience isn't listening, it's not their fault, it's yours." (Page 14)
"What makes you remarkable is being amazing, outstanding, surprising, elegant and noteworthy."
(Page 112)
People who think like a pigeon "assume a cause-and-effect relationship that doesn't really exist. That's what a superstition is: a compulsion to take an action that has no actual influence on the desired outcome." (Page 163)
Enjoy !

This is an amazing book where you rediscovered the fact that life is short and not doing what you love is a waste of precious time.
That being said not all jobs are rewarding or satisfying, but the energy and your self expression you bring to that job makes all the difference in the world.
The ideas presented in this book are definitely not your traditional ones around the work place. Here Tim Ferris presents a whole new reality of what the work place can and has become for many people. One of discovering ways to work less hours, make more money and spent more time in activities outside of your workplace you like to do, ie traveling.
You could say it's all about how you spend your time...quality vs quantity.
