Five Home Business Ideas for Animal Lovers

Everyone has heard someone say your career should be something you love. We spend the majority of our time at work, so why shouldn't you do something that you love? What if you are an animal lover looking to start a business? There are plenty of business ideas out there, but why not try something geared around the animals you love?

 

1. Start a dog walking business. A dog walking business is best for people who live in the city. Dogs in the city don't usually have a lot of room to run and play. With their owners at work all day, they usually hire someone to walk their dogs. This can be a very profitable business for any animal lover. It would also be a simple business idea to start up. Simply print flyers and go door to door to pass them out to gain clients.

 

2. Start a doggy daycare. Some pet owners have a very busy schedule and don't want to leave their dog home alone all the time. This is where a doggy daycare comes in handy. Whether they bring the dog for one day or a week, babysitting the dog makes you money and leaves the owner with a piece of mind.

 

3. Another great business idea for an animal lover is a pet resort. When people have to travel, they don't want to leave their pet in a kennel. Instead they look for a plush pet resort that is somewhat like a luxury hotel for pets. This is definitely a unique business, but fun and profitable.

 

4. Are you not really a dog or cat person, but still love animals? A good business idea for you may be to own horse stables. Equestrians are always looking for good stables to keep their horses at.

 

5. No space for animals, but you'd still like a good business idea centered around animals? How about making clothes for dogs? You can sell them online and on Ebay and make a good profit. It seems everyone dresses their pets these days, why not profit from it?

 

If you are an animal lover, then you could turn anything pertaining to animals into a business. There are business ideas all around you, all you have to do is think outside the box!

 

Home Based Businesses Trump 9 to 5 Jobs

While rising gas prices continue to climb throughout the US, more and more people are looking to the future of home-based businesses. Recently, a poll was taken by the general population on the percentage of people who are interested in, or are researching the prospects of a home-based business. A staggering 45 percent are eager to start and another 40 percent are seeking information on a home-based business of their choice. If the 40 percent who have looked to start a home-based business begin within the next year and the eager 45 percent join in too,  that is over half of Americans who do not have to get out of their Pajamas in the mornings. Nor do they have to rush around to get the kids off to school before work. Sound refreshing? Eighty five percent of Americans think so!

 

This is good news for single parents and for families with two incomes as well. Being a parent can be hard enough, but throw in the stress of a hectic schedule and the overbearing power of the eight hour workday, and you've got a recipe for catastrophe. Independence is a major factor in a single parents life. Being prosperous at a job and bringing home the bacon at the same time, isn't easy these days and single parents will be the first to express that. With home-based businesses these parents are finding comfort in knowing that they have the freedom and flexibility to live their lives the way they want to.

 

Home-based businesses may not be for everyone. It takes a self-disciplined and highly motivated individual to succeed in these entrepreneurial ventures. You've got to set goals and work to reach them. Having that pestering boss hovering over you is a thing of the past in the world of home-based businesses. This means you're the boss, and you must be capable of working well on your own. Self-motivation is a quality entrepreneurs must possess. Problem solving and learning new skills are important as well to help you grow to and beyond your highest ambitions. However, the key to a strong and successful business is a powerful support system. With your family and friends behind you as you embark on your business dreams; there is nothing that you cannot accomplish.

 

After countless hours of research on “what business is right for you” and checklist after checklist, you may become discouraged. Still the most impressive thing about home-based businesses is that you can do what you love to do. Finally feel good about your job and passionate about the hours you put in. Choose a subject that you are animated about. Maybe it's photography, or perhaps writing, either way it's your choice. As a result, say good-bye to commuting. No more expensive day care costs or throwing away your time on someone else's investments. Better yourself and spend valuable time with your family. This world is full of opportunities, and the choice is yours. Take advantage of it, you deserve it!
