Business Opportunities for 2008
A new year, and plenty of new opportunities. What would be the very best business ideas for this year, in which many economics predict an economic recession?
Aging population
It’s a problem many western countries have to deal with. In the U.S., the Bureau of Labor has predicted there will be one million nursing positions by 2020 that can’t be filled because of lack of educated talent. For you as an entrepeneur, look at opportunities for mobility aid, health care services, aid for the mental or physical disabled, anti-aging products, senior travel, funeral and/or retirement planning services, retiree support. Also think about the luxury items the elderly purchase of their life-long savings. Japanese elderly have small families due to the one-child policy and many own a small dog, pampering it with designer clothes and gourmet food.

Darren Berkovitz: Do My Stuff
Like most people, Darren Berkovitz and his partners were experiencing a common dilemma: too much to do and not enough time to do it. They did, however, find the time to create a solution. The result is DoMyStuff.com, an online community where busy people can quickly find assistants to handle their errands and tasks.
Here’s how it works: Busy people — known as buyers — post a task they need completed on the site. Everything from mowing the lawn to chartering a private jet is appropriate; no job is too big or too small.
Local individuals or businesses then bid on tasks by providing information, such as how much they’ll charge, when the task will be completed and details about the service they’ll provide.
Buyers review bids and choose the best assistant to help them. The site is free for buyers, while DoMyStuff.com keeps a percentage of the assistant’s winning bid.
In addition to providing a service to busy people, Berkovitz feels the site is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to start their own business on the side.
Depending on how much time they’re willing to put in, assistants can turn the extra work into an easy weekend gig or work up to the point of becoming a contractor and subcontracting tasks to people below them.
“You can literally go on [to the site] this afternoon and start making money,” says Berkovitz.
