Alright buddy, I have some advice for you. For context, I pretend to be women online and sell used panties. I make $200k a year. The most important thing is you need to hang your pride at the door. Making a 'normal' business isn't possible anymore, you have to be creative. I'm not young enough anymore to tuck my cock and sell pictures, so I use AI to generate nude picture. AI isn't as good, but YMMV. Since you're 23, you're good for tucking your cock, also you can bend over and take ass picks if you put yoga pants on. That worked well for me. It can be a grind sometimes, but you have to stay focused, think of the money. Have vision. Think about who you want to be in the future. I can give more tips if you want.

I use to sell weed. shit was a pain in the ass. Now Ive developed a 15 yr IT career. People will ask if I will do IT shit for them and pay me monthly. I said fuck all that managing customers and selling them shit is a pain in the ass. Mostly you just need to find out what you like/can stand doing for work. You may like X but when it turn into Y job you fucking hate it. This is not an easy task to accomplish.

I am taking beekeeping classes this spring so that I can sell honey at farmer's markets. I've also heard that some businesses will rent beehives from you in order to pollinate their landscapes. I'll check back in here in a year and let /biz/ know how it panned out.

The more you "own" the less alive you will be.

Freedom is internal. Don't sell yourself a fake person that is chained to the laws and religion of supply and demand..

First thing is, you have to understand that most businesses are not glamorous, but the money is what makes the biz glamorous. So don't worry about "plumbing is not cool" kind of views from other people, focus on a business model that will put cash in your pocket.
What are you already good at, or interested in?

Worthwhile depends on what you mean by "start a business." Hanging a sign out and offering a service or food is intellectually trivial but tons of labor. Creating a scaling-startup with an exit plan is intellectually grinding but doesn't take a ton of time outside needless agonizing over minute details. What do you want to know?
