I just found another site that puts prices on questions...www.uclue.com. Looks a little broader than JustAnswers, which seemed heavy on legal and automotive questions.

V.C., those are exactly my obstacles: I don't feel that I have much "expert" knowledge and my passions don't necessarily translate easily into businesses. I liked Clay's post the other day on "back door" approaches, and the example of being passionate about alternative energy and starting a business related to push/electric motors really stuck with me.

I think you could absolutely find a good business idea related to helping disabled people live independent lives.

V.C. aworkingrachel, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. Not having grown up in a business-oriented family also hasn't helped. My only experience with running a business during my childhood was selling greeting cards during my senior year of high school, that was about it. I did make decent sales but I never had the confidence or interest to sell people anything. So this is new for me.

I think I need to brainstorm and come up with some business ideas based on my passions, and then do some research to see if anyone is doing something similar on the web that I can emulate. That's my first step after absorbing all of the info Clay has given us.
