I have just move into a new area and I noticed that almost everybody are doing the same business e.g selling of soft drinks. Can any one advice me on any other business I can venture into that is quite different from others. Thank you.

Where are you residing, which place to enable us (fellow forumites) know the kind of biz that will be best suitable in such place?

Bear it in mind that location has much to do with the kind of biz you want to venture into. Eg, You can't never make a head way if you start a fast-food biz in a remote area. You must tailor your biz towards targeting a willing customer who are ready to pay you.

this issue of everyone doing d same thing is worrisome.

I once visited a village where all the women had bukas or beer parlors, and all d men do okada.

Who will buy from who? I however noticed that the more specialised or skilled workers eg welders, carpenters and even barbers had steady patronage.

Whatever u do with that money, dont follow d crowd.

U might consider bike, courier, food xport or barbing if u cant come up with something unique in that area.
