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.
