problem for a specific market. The bubble burst, remember? Web business != instant free money.

I disagree with the adult toy industry point, as if you find a niche/approach it well it can turn
out great.
As for worst business, I'd say DVD rental places. This is due to the fact that burning/pirating
movies is cheap and easy, also because your merchandise can get harmed so quickly (DVD scratches)
and you need to have an enormous range of DVDs to attract enough business to pay for the space that
you are renting to run the business on.

The worst business would be running your own airline.
The costs to run the equipment/staff is very high and the competition in the industry is extremely
tight. Fuel prices are high and customers are generally looking for the cheapest flight regardless
of service quality.
Look at it this way.. Would you want to go into business against another airline that is
consistently loosing money? It basically means you have to be very good at what you do to turn a
profit... Oh, and those airlines have decades more experience then you... and they want to crush
you because you are their competition.

One of the worst businesses to get into right now is SMC. It seems as if almost every gas station,

But a good buisness to get into right now seems to be telling other people what a good business to
get into is, and proclaiming that you're so good at doing business in that industry, that you don't
need to do it anymore, but you'll show other people how, by selling them books....think dolf

Check Cashing / Payday Lending. Many states are working to pass new legislation making it harder
for predatory lenders to stay in business. It won't belong before your
"check-into-cash-into-tequila" model will be just "tequila".

Cellular service store. The market is just completely saturated with hole in the wall shops, mall
kiosks, etc. all selling cell phones, service, and accessories. They may have been lucrative five
years ago, but people are increasingly going to their service provider's store (Verizon, Sprint)
rather than the local mom-and-pop shops to get their phones. Small stores used to make their money
selling small, exotic and unlocked phones with tons of cool features, but most people just want a
decent, commonly available phone like the RZR. Cell phone shops are fast becoming the modern
equivalent of Crazy Eddie's-style electronics stores of the 1970's.

Someone said that Collectible Card Games were a bad business to get into, but I don't think that is
true. The manufacturers and distributors are doing really great. It is, however, super hard to
make a successful bricks and mortar retail enterprise out of selling any kind of nerd culture like
comics, collectibles, specialty movies/books and games. Everything you want to sell is available
cheaper, with more variety, online.

Clothing and Shoe repair. So few people buy quality clothes anymore, it is just not worth it.
Manufacturing in general, though that may be picking up with all of the "China is trying to kill
us" type stuff that has been happening recently.
Lobbyist, because the middle-class revolution is gonna start soon, and they will be akin to the
appetizer before the main meal.
Small Farms-just can't compete with all the agribusiness stranglehold on the marketplace. Even
with all of the corn price inflation happening lately. Sort of helped by the Eat Local movement,
but probably not sustainable on the few folks who are into that.

Quixtar (or Brit WorldWide) is a scam. It's pretty much Amway on Steroids. It's also a giant ponzi
scheme that preys on the naiive and broke. I made no money because I have a conscience, but lost a
bit of money because I'm appearently a sucker. Live and learn!

Hey Rob,
I remember seeing a picture in National Geographic as a kid. It showed these women who worked in a
laboratory as "Armpit Sniffers". They would sniff armpits all day, testing the effectiveness of
deodorant. I've always thought that this would be a terrible job to have. These people must have
done something horrible in a past life.
