If you do much reading about business trends and what is
going on in that world today you will soon notice that there is a relentless
drumbeat for people to throw off the corporate shackles and try their hand at
“Entrepreneurship”. With a capitol “E”. I am, of course, all for it but in some
ways it is kind of amusing – sort of reminds me of Art Licensing with all the
coaches, endless articles and forums, groups and advice, even business founder
match-up services….and it is all on the upswing.
But I digress. I read an article today called
“The Worst Businesses to Start This Year”, you can read it here. It is not exactly
an in-depth examination but does have great examples of a few changes in the
world of commerce that should get you thinking. What happened to these industries?
Who saw the changes coming and managed to find a way to disrupt the status quo,
or at least profit from it? What will be the next established industries to
undergo upheaval?
In addition to the listed categories, I would add a few
additional ones that are a bit closer to what we do. Given the changes in our world I think these also could be
bad choices for a new endeavor:
Graphic design firm
Scrapbooking store
Web design company
News-stand or Bookstore
Print and copy shop
Any more to add? Where does art licensing fit in with
this? What do you think?
