i have been thinking so hard lately trying to figure out businesses i want to start but its hard.  I dont really have any skills that other people don`t have, the only thing i am passionate about is art that industry is pretty much already fully evolved, how do i think of something to start?

Hi Andrew :-)
Here`s a post you might enjoy, about what kind of business would someone start.

When you say the art industry is pretty much already fully evolved, I think you`re missing the boat. That`s like saying that an octave has only 13 notes, and they`re fully evolved, therefore there can`t be any new music. :-D Y`know?

Art generally categorizes into a couple of very broad aspects. There are people who create art, there are people who support art, and there are people who broker (sell) art. Agents would be people who both support and sell art. So too, gallery owners do the same.

You say your skills are mostly typical, so I`ll assume you`re not an artist. But that means you DO have something most people totally fail to consider valuable. You`re "average," so to speak, and I don`t mean that in a bad way!

There`s a great story by I think Mark Twain (although I`ve yet to find the damn thing). It`s about "The Common Man." In the story, people all over the world are trying to figure out the best average for things. So they want to know what would be the average shirt size, pants length, food choice.

When it turns out that this Common Man is perfectly average, the whole world comes running to find out the answers to these critical questions.

Now think of the world of art. It`s dominated by intellectually elite snobs in many instances, shutting out all sorts of other people. Lots of people really don`t know enough about art to go into a gallery and buy something. They believe they`ll be laughed at, condescended to, or otherwise turned off.

People say, "I don`t understand art, but I know what I like." The "industry" then makes those people feel foolish.

What if you were to build a business that brings art and understanding in to the more typical family environment? You could educate people, talk about art appreciation, or do reviews of types of art. You could write, blog, or make recommendations.

What`s actually your passion about art? How does that manifest itself in your everyday life? Don`t you think that thousands of other people would wish they had that passion? How can you make a connection between your passion, and people who don`t have the time or understanding to gain what you already know?

Great advice Craig . Andrew most business areas are almost fully saturated. However, it is important to know that you would be fully committed to your business. It takes a lot - ups and downs are common place and that does not necessarily mean that you are not cut out for the business. You would need to evaluate and stay on top of the issues/areas of concern. Although it is best if you do business in an area that you love most of all, it takes more than the love of the nature of your business to make it work. Perhaps after figuring out what you would love to do, you can use your artistic creativity and test the waters. Best wishes.
