They say that you should do what you love. And you can see why — it’s much easier to put in those long hours that are required for success if you’re doing something that you inherently enjoy! It’s important to remember that ‘what you love’ doesn’t necessarily mean a subject. It can also apply to broader things. For example, you might be a people-person — you love people, not a specific topic. In that case, you’d probably enjoy most things that brought you into contact with other humans in a positive way.
In this blog, we’ll run through four business ideas that are suitable if you’re a people-person.
Life Coach
If you love people, then you’ll want them to succeed. Or perhaps you’ll want to help them overcome their difficulties. If you’ve always been a fan of other members of the human race, then you’ll probably have learned a lot over the years just by engaging with others. In that case, you could find that becoming a life coach is a good option for you. You’ll probably need to get some qualifications along the way, and you’ll likely want to start it as a side business rather than a full-time operation. But if it all goes well, then you might just find your calling!
Real Estate Rentals
There are multiple ways to help people. You can help people on their way to success or overcome their difficulties, such as by becoming a life coach, as we mentioned above. But you can also help people by taking care of the basics of life, such as housing. Becoming a landlord brings you into close contact with the human race — and can also provide a good income for yourself. You might start with one or two rental properties before eventually working with a company like Costas Constructions to build a multi-unit property. It’s an exciting industry to be in, one that allows you to help people.
Start a Hotel
If starting a property empire doesn’t quite do it for you, then perhaps starting a hotel will. You’ll still be providing accommodation, just over a shorter period. One big plus is that you could end up meeting people from all over the world. It’s hard work running a hotel, sure, but it can be highly rewarding. Plus, you can make your enterprise as small or large as you like, from a small B&B to an international chain.
Become an Event Planner
If you’re more project-based, then you could consider becoming an event planner. With this, you’ll work closely with people to bring their weddings, parties, conferences, or other events to life. The job satisfaction among people who work in this industry is high. You’ll need to put in long hours, overcome problems, and so forth, but there’s so much value in helping to bring someone’s vision to life. As with becoming a life coach, it’s best to start small or work within an existing event planning company before stepping up to make it your full-time work.
