This is the list of the best small businesses opportunities for 2018, chosen from across a variety of industries. To make my list, these businesses must:
have the potential to be profitable now and for many years in the future;
be able to do well even in uncertain economic times;
not require a PhD or decades of experience. Some require trade school training, a university degree or a prior apprenticeship, while others need only some prior experience and a passion for the industry.
not require large amounts of startup capital, but only what every startup business requires: dedication, hard work, perseverance and a desire to succeed.
Most of these opportunities can be operated as home-based businesses.
If your goal in life is to become very wealthy, chances are you won't get there as a small business owner. But you'll have a chance to generate a healthy income, be your own boss and make all the decisions. You could potentially have a more flexible lifestyle. Building something from the ground up can make starting a business very rewarding in itself.
Here are my picks for the best small business ideas based on current trends in business and demographics.
1. Virtual Reality
Virtual reality computing (VR) is a huge leap forward in immersing the user in a realistic sensory experience. Hardware and software vendors are working furiously to bring new VR products to the marketplace and the industry is growing at a parabolic rate - according to statista by 2020 the worldwide size of the VR market will be in excess of $40 billion.
The potential uses of virtual reality for business or pleasure are practically limitless, for example:
3D movies - watching a movie in 360 degree VR
Real estate marketing - imagine searching for a new home and being able to take an online VR walk through of an advertised house from the comfort of your desk chair
Gaming - VR is revolutionizing the gaming industry, with new VR titles being released on an almost weekly basis
2. Skilled Trades
It's unfortunate that nowadays that some parents have a tendency to discourage their children from considering skilled trades as a career choice, in part due of the erroneous belief that trades are poorly paid. In fact, skilled tradespeople are generally very well paid and enjoy satisfying careers.
It has been estimated that 40% of current tradespeople will be retiring in the next decade, creating a huge demand for talented workers in trades such as:
Welding
Carpentry and general construction
Plumbing, pipefitting and steamfitting
Electrical and electronic control systems
3. Software Engineering and Development
Software engineers and developers create, test and maintain software on a variety of platforms, from mainframes to mobile devices. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for software developers is expected to increase by 17 percent each year through 2023, and the median pay in 2014 was slightly over $100,000 per year.
The nature of the software development industry makes it ideal for contract employment. Many software engineers start out as salaried employees and eventually become self-employed contractors. Cloud computing and ease of remote access make software development an ideal home-based business.
Striker andalan Inter Milan, Mauro Icardi dikabarkan begitu diminati oleh tim raksasa La Liga, Real Madrid. Los Blancos kabarnya ingin menjadikan pemain berusia 24 tahun tersebut sebagai bomber anyar pengganti Karim Benzema yang performanya belakangan tak melulu tampil gemilang.
Tak hanya Madrid, klub raksasa Indonesia, Persib Bandung pun turut serta dikabarkan berminat mendaratkan Icardi ke kota Kembang. Seperti yang kita ketahui bersama, tim kesayangan Bobotoh itu kini tengah mencari sosok ujung tombak anyar untuk kompetisi Liga 1 2018.
Dilansir dari bola.net(15/02/2018), peluang Persib untuk memboyong Icardi memang sangat kecil. Namun, peluang tetap saja ada, terlebih Maung Bandung baru saja bekerja sama dengan Inter Milan untuk membuka akademi sepakbola di Bandung yang bernama Inter Academy Indonesia.
Senada dengan pernyataan di atas, penulis sendiri juga berpandangan bukan tak mungkin Persib mampu mendatangkan penyerang berpaspor Argentina tersebut mengingatkan beberapa pesepakbola dunia seperti Carlton Cole dan Michael Essien telah lebih dahulu berhasil didatangkan oleh tim Pangeran Biru. Ditambah lagi, Persib kini dilatih oleh juru taktik yang senegara dengan Icardi, yakni Mario Gomez.
Jika nantinya Persib sukses menikung Real Madrid dalam perburuan Icardi, bisa dipastikan tim yang akan bermarkas di Stadion Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA) pada kompetisi 2018 akan menjadi salah satu tim yang paling mengerikan di Liga 2018.
Icardi akan menjadi momok paling menakutkan bagi setia pemain belakangan serta kiper lawan yang akan berhadapan dengan Persib. Sang juara ISL 2014 dan juara Piala Presiden 2016yang sebelumnya bisa dikatakan mengalami permasalahan dalam urusan mencetak gol pasti akan langsung teratasi jika seandainya sosok kapten Inter Milan tersebut memilih berlabuh ke Paris Van Java untuk berseragam tim Pangeran Biru.
Lantas bagaimana menurut pembaca setia khususnya para pendukung Persib Bandung alias Bobotoh, setujukah jika Icardi akan menjadi solusi dari permasalahan di lini depan tim kesayangan kalian? berikan pendapat kalian pada kolom komentar di bawah ini, terima kasih.
