Sitting at the computer, possibly trawling around Google,an idea may well keep coming to the fore, but is the idea feasible?

An Internet based business is not essential – although this is one route that can be highly successful. A look at this video could show you how.

Use your computer as a step for starting and supporting your new business.

Your computer can be your means of selling your idea successfully around this country and the world. Your computer can introduce you to a new hobby, a new way of life, this new business - the world is your oyster.

Some of the ideas listed here could well give you ideas to kick-start a business:

If you live in a rural or even semi-rural location have you ever thought of keeping bees? There has been much publicity given throughout the media, and particularly on farming programmes on how important bees are to the very survival of agriculture. Contact www.britishbee.org.uk for more information.

Is there a local group you can join? Here you should make new friends. You will eventually doubtless have honey to spare, once you get organised you should be able to sell it on, cover your expenses - make money? New business? Definitely under the heading of try something new.

Are you an active, physical person by nature, liking a sense of adventure as well? Why not try outdoor swimming?

This exhiliarates both body and mind and will bring you in touch with a new circle of friends.

If you contact River and Lake Swimming Association for more information on this unusual hobby. You could find yourself broadening your horizons in more respects than one. Start a group of your own? Travel to different locations and swims in a group. Book an away weekend. The permutations are plenty.

Still staying outdoors, contact The Forestry Commission and in particular their page Dog Walking Take your best friend - your dog - with you and the pair of you are will probably meet other like-minded folk. Again, start a group of your own. This will be good for you and good for your dogs. Animals need to socialise as much as humans. It teaches them tolerance and to respect other dogs.

Even if you are not able to reach open spaces easily, there is always the possibility of joining a group of walkers via London Walks at www.walks.com This site has to be seen to be believed.

It is truly a library of chatty information and worth a visit even if you don’t intend walking. This company also organise walks in various parts of the country. Warning, if you do start reading this site and you will be there for ages because it is so entertaining. The site also drifts into Facebook.

Yes, most of the walks charge a fee, but on their page www.walks.com/Homepage/Beachcombing_Walks/default.aspx it would appear that Beachcombing walks are free - but please check. Each beachcombing walk is different because the foreshore changes every day. Who knows what any of these walks could generate in the way of ideas? For instance, if you live near a beach and have knowledge of beachcombing....????

For those not physically inclined a Reading Group is a great way of meeting people and also a novel way to try something new. Excuse the pun. Take a look at Reading Group Networkand see what ideas could be given a kick-start here.

It could well generate an idea or two.
