I have been thinking about starting my own business because I'm tired of working for other people and making them richer as I do the grunt work. I want to do something I enjoy. No, something I LOVE. I know I love to use my creative energy to create something that others can enjoy. So, I have thought about inventing my own board game and trying to start a business selling it. My old best friend and I would make our own board games for fun and then play them. We had a blast, and I'm pretty good at it because I think I love the process so much and then the reward of people playing it and enjoying it. The ideas just flow.
I'm hesitant though because I'm doubting the feasibility of this idea. The board game industry might be very competitive. And even when I do come up with an awesome board game (which I know I will
), then I have to spend money to get it manufactured. Who knows how much that will cost. Then I will likely have to pitch the idea to some investor or company to get more money to produce it in mass. It's like, I don't know. I know I have the talent and love it, but it seems too unlikely to succeed. What would you do? Would you pursue something like this that you love to do and risk the financial loss and time loss for the potential success?I just don't know what else to do. I only know of a few things I really would love as a career: musician, creative writer, business owner/entrepreneur, graphic designer, etc. Something has really caught me though about this board game idea. I even received to be what I thought of as sort of a 'sign' that I should pursue it. It happened a couple days ago. I was thinking quite heavily on this idea when, later, I watched a show called "million dollar idea" and on it the inventor of the famous board game/block game Jenga was profiled.
Any advice?
