OP here
>tfw I made a long comment replying to every anon and giving them their well deserved (You)'s but then it was too long and I pressed the wrong button and my page went back with the post lots oh well

I had a fashion business when younger that started out from my bedroom then turning into a bigger thing but sadly it died when I fell into depression and started a time-consuming job. It did well and taught me a lot about life, but importantly on how to sell things, marketing, advertising, creativity etc

If you have no original ideas what you want to do is steal ideas from other people and improve upon them. Don't copy people but steal their shit and add your own twist to it. Find better manufacturing/sourcing links. Sell quality product. Be bold when it comes to advertising, have catchy unique design, don't treat your customers just as customers, don't be stiff language wise (unless it's some super srs bsns sector), entice people to engage with your business as much as possible. Email marketing!! Very important, but you need to make it personal. As cliche as it sounds make it a journey for your customer. Read books on branding and selling. Hegarty on Advertising is a good book, How I raised myself from failure to success in selling is a good book but is mainly old school sales focused, still will give you some nice truths in there when it comes to selling yourself and your bsns
Digital is the way forward, ecommerce, affiliate marketing, 2020 is all about digital.

And if you try to deny yourself the experience of starting something on your own saying it won't succeed or you won't make as much money as you want or you don't want to run this business til you die you can always move onto other things. The things you will learn, the people you will meet, all part of it.
