the “best” industries for starting a business?
April 8th, 2014
I generally really like Inc magazine.
But this article is kinda ridiculous: “The Eight Best Industries for Starting a Business.”
By the time an industry has landed on a list like this, the odds that you’re really going to be able to capitalize on it are super slim. There’s nothing “wrong” with starting a business in any of those industries – but you shouldn’t pick an industry because it’s “hot”; you should start your business in the industry you know and are ready to compete in.
If you’re already running a business, perhaps expanding your market reach into some of these “hot” industries is a good idea – and perhaps not. Make sure you are solving problems and delivering solutions.
The rest is gravy.
Sidebar – if you’re relying on mass-market publications like Inc to do your business research, you’re doing it wrong.

- it’s all politicsMany years ago, one of my colleagues told me, “if there’s more than two people in the room, there’s politics”. He’s the same guy who told me to never go into a meeting without a prop (his favorite was a cup of coffee (and sometimes a notebook & pen)). I think Jim was wrong. There’s […]
