What’s a business idea or side hustle you think could work but you’ll probably never pursue? What’s stopping you, and what would it take to make it happen? Here’s mine: a commercial cleaning business. The idea is simple—I’d find the clients and build the relationships, then outsource the actual cleaning to a small, reliable crew. A friend of mine from high school actually did this, and now he’s running a very successful small business. We talked through this idea in high school but he actually went and did it. It’s pretty wild to see how well it’s working for him. I think it goes to show that you can make just about anything work, if you put your mind to it. What’s your “almost” idea—the one you know could be good but, for whatever reason, isn’t in your plans? Why haven’t you pursued it?

I’ve always wanted to run my own fire sprinkler design company. I work 45 hr weeks at my main job & take on side projects. My old employer handles my taxes. I know I could handle it myself & probably make more money but I’m concerned about self employment taxes and insurance ramifications. ie preexisting conditions

Yeah insurance is always a bit consideration. If only we could get our country to catch up with the rest of the world and just do universal coverage. 🤷🏻♂️

The preexisting conditions is a huge issue. Unless you have a group plan it can be scary. My wife had surgery on her gi. Now any issue related will be out of pocket including screenings. You have anything and they find ways to not cover it. BCBS used to have a 2 person group plan. Don’t think that exist now.

Yea, I know how it is for sure. I’m lucky to have really good coverage through my job but it’s still $7000/year with them paying for 75% of it. 🤯 If the country would move to universal healthcare, costs would come down at every level. People think it would be too expensive but we could get rid of all the middlemen and other things that currently make healthcare so expensive. No more entire departments devoted to billing/insurance. No more protracted legal issues over what’s covered and what’s not, etc. We just need to do it. It will be better for everyone and cheaper for the country in the long run.

I just don’t want it ran by the government. I don’t trust them and never will. Not that I trust the private companies but just want some regulation on how much scripts & services should be. Doctors overcharge, insurance companies dampen but not enough. Not to mention the large gaps in who qualifies certain services

The government wouldn’t run it. They’d just pay for it. I don’t trust the government either but they are already paying for it with Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. There is no reason for a profit motive at a hospital. There is no reason for millions of administrative employees driving up the cost of healthcare. We could get rid of all of that with a single payer healthcare system AND people wouldn’t be denied treatment for pre-existing conditions. AND it would be cheaper for both the government and regular people.
