Hey there, I'm Trent.
And I'm Preston, here with TRUiC.
We're here to brainstorm all the ways
you could become a successful entrepreneur.
Everyone has that potential in them,
but hearing the details about different business ideas
can get you inspired to actually start.
We've talked about some broader business ideas before,
but today, we're gonna dive into some of the most
unique businesses we've ever come across.
These businesses show that if you jump into your niche
head-first, you can make a surprising amount of money.
I like money.
Yeah.
I don't know anybody who doesn't.
I like diving head-first.
Me too.
Anyway, these are by no means the only
super-specific ideas out there, not by a long shot,
but their formats and success can serve as a guide
toward finding the idea that's right for you.
People are starting some of the most
out-there businesses these days.
Being so specialized means you're accessing
an underserved, unsaturated market,
which is awesome if you're the kind of person
who likes making money and making people's day.
You make my day, Trent.
Oh, I try, Preston.
Feel free to follow along with us
using the guides in the description below.
You can also use the free idea tool we've linked
to find a business that fits perfectly into your interests.
I think we should probably just go ahead
and get started, right?
Yeah. Jump right into it.
Why don't we jump right into it?
Dive head-first.
Dive on in.
Our first idea is a pet bakery.
If you're passionate about pets and their nutrition
and spending time in the kitchen working out healthy,
tasty recipes, then you'd do well starting a pet bakery.
Nowadays, pet owners are concerned about
what's in the food they feed their pets.
Providing pet parents with healthy, local, honest,
and fun alternatives will benefit everyone.
You can invest in a storefront where you bake
and sell these goods, operate out of your home
and sell the products online,
or find a balance between the two.
Second on our list is a sea salt business.
The ocean is vast and very full of salt.
Reminds me of someone I know.
If you're self-motivated, have knowledge of
and love for the ocean, and access to seawater,
you should consider making your own brand
of specialty sea salt.
You can package different flavors,
source from unique areas of the ocean,
and make wholesale connections at specialty retailers.
Don't be afraid to work hard with your own two hands.
With nice packaging and marketing,
you can make great money just with salt.
(chuckles) Number three on our list, a cat cafe.
Cat Cafes offer people a place to relax with a fun drink,
some snacks, and your friends,
while cats entertain themselves all around you.
This is a fairly new concept and is made even more popular
by the rise of people wanting to adopt cats.
Do I have to have friends to enter the cafe or?
I don't think so.
Anyway, oftentimes, a cat cafe will partner
with an animal shelter to offer the cats
in their shop up for adoption.
This increases the popularity of both the shelter
and the cafe, and it also makes customers feel like
they're donating their money to a good cause.
Having a fun, clean atmosphere
and a good location will be very important
for your business.
I agree.
Next up at number four, a bonsai tree business.
Those with a green thumb, but very little space,
should definitely consider these small, specialty plants.
This is an old practice of raising
and trimming plant species, so that they stay miniature
and sculpting them into pleasing shapes.
It's an old practice for sure,
but people have recently caught on to the importance
of greenery in their living spaces,
but not everyone can fit a full-on
tropical tree in their living room.
Most people can't.
Yeah, was about to say I can't.
Not in my apartment.
The startup and maintenance costs are low,
but the love you give each tree makes them very valuable.
If you've got patience and a desire to work with plants,
this could be a unique fit for you.
Our fifth business idea for you is a pet hotel.
A pet hotel is essentially a luxury kennel where pets
can be boarded with high-end care
while their owners are away.
You'll want fancy food, plenty of toys and activities,
soft sleeping areas, pet healthcare professionals
on standby, and lots of love for pets.
The pet grooming and boarding industry
generates over eight billion in revenue each year.
Taking a luxury slice of that pie
will prove to be a lucrative venture.
You'll want a good physical location,
customer loyalty, and a stream of new clients.
Next up at number six, chicken diapers.
Urban chicken-raising has given enthusiastic rise
to a very new, very specific business, chicken diapers.
I'm gonna let Preston take it from here,
since he's suspiciously passionate about this one.
Oh, you know.
You might raise your eyebrows at this,
but diapers for chickens serve a very important purpose.
For those raising chickens partially indoors,
it keeps everyone clean and healthy,
while still encouraging urban farming.
More and more large cities are encouraging their residents
to explore self-sufficiency
and chickens are a big step in that direction.
As the owner of a chicken diaper business,
you'd make and sew reusable, stylish diapers
for those hip enough to pave the way
by raising their own chickens.
Why won't anyone take chicken diapers seriously?
I mean, come on.
It get views on our website, I mean.
Number seven on our list is a rage room.
This is a relatively new idea,
but one that has taken the world by storm.
Rage rooms let customers blow off steam
by smashing breakable items to bits.
You'll need a physical space for the rage room,
storage for a large inventory of random items to break,
and very good liability insurance.
Your growth will depend on a sustainable pricing models
and on a satisfied customer.
This is an interesting way to provide relief to the public.
I am constantly haunted by feelings of rage and anxiety,
and these really help me get out those thoughts.
I think maybe we might need to go a rage room.
Oh, I think so, too, definitely.
Next on our list is aromatherapy,
which I completely missed.
Yes, we did.
Number eight, aromatherapy.
Those who are interested in essential oils,
the effects of different scents,
and helping people feel better
should definitely look into aromatherapy.
Sharing your passion and educating your customers
will be very important, too.
Bottling your own essential oils
and creating your own scents is a huge portion of income
for many aromatherapists,
and can be your primary method of business
if you seek to operate online or as a side business.
I really like citrus scents.
I've always been partial to vanilla myself.
Nice.
Our next idea at number nine, dried flower business.
As a dried flower specialist,
you might dry a variety of flowers to sell to hobbyists
or you might preserve people's flowers
by request from life events.
Think weddings, anniversaries, graduations,
ceremonies, and more.
You'll want familiarity with types of flowers
and the ways plants can react
to different techniques and circumstances.
You may even grow flowers yourself just to dry.
This business can be started on the side,
but can grow to a full-time undertaking if scaled correctly.
Last but not least, number 10, a game truck.
Let me introduce you to the ice cream truck's fun,
energy drink-slamming older sibling, the game truck.
Outfitting a large, mobile vehicle with speakers, consoles,
lights, fun games, and lots of screens
will make your business-on-wheels a hotspot for fun.
By booking parties and events
and providing games that clients request,
you'll quickly build a reputable brand.
Nailing down your marketing will help your business
become an even bigger authority.
We should go to one of those.
Ah man. I bet there's
some around here.
Yeah, if I could play just the original MK trilogy,
I'd be so happy. Oh, yeah.
Ah, and on arcade machine?
Nice.

(upbeat music)
(sharp slap)
(Trent laughs)
No, no, it needs to be.
(Trent grunts)
Louder!
(sharp slap) There we go.
They say there's only a certain type of person
who re-does the high five. (laughs)
(Trent panting)
(Trent laughs)
Oh, this guy.
No, this guy.
(Trent laughs)
I'd rather jump out the window.
