Business Idea Axed

I am at the point of my life where I see business ideas come and go. For the past 2 months I have been thinking, analyzing, talking to people, and being truly honest with myself on what it is that I want to do as a side business, and that will ultimately help me leave the corporate job that I have right now.

The great business idea that I had was recycling, in this case, paper. I thought of this idea while at work, while seeing the over flow of paper we accumulate during the day and the large amount of still being wasted, even when the big recycling bin in the community printer areas where full, got my mind going. I got to thinking that I could start with my office and form a contract with my current employer.

I began the research phase and got my girlfriend involved. The idea got rolling, ironically, on Earth Day. I printed out how to start a recycling business and more material that was 20 plus years old. I consulted a friend at work, if he knew anything about this, he pointed me into some dead-end directions.

I thought my idea was something of secrecy and didn’t want to tell much people. However, as time went on, I realized that this was some hard shit. I could tell millions of people, even people that lived in Houston, there would be no one starting a recycling business.
