Although there are many creative businesses today that were started on the internet, we may forget about those successful businesses that were profitable in the last century, before the internet ever started. Maybe even long before that.
What did those creative entrepreneurs do to try to make money without holding down the traditional 9 to 5 job? (Isn’t that really 8 to 5?) I am going to explore through my blog posts a number of those businesses. While I am mentioning them, try to think about the possibility of starting a similar business in your community, and to also think about applying that business as an internet business. Why not? If it was successful back then, what’s to stop it from making money today?
(1) The first business I am going to talk about is nature’s way of getting rid of rats. Did you know that a rat has a natural enemy? It’s called the ferret. 
People have operated successful businesses in the past, raising and selling ferrets to help people get rid of those pesky vermin. Some of their customers even bought them as pets. FIND OUT ABOUT FERRETS
A ferret is a weasel-like carnivore, about 14 inches long, usually white with red eyes and used to hunt rabbits, rats, etc. Many ship companies use ferrets to rid their ships of rats, and they are also used by warehouses for the same purpose.
To raise and breed ferrets, you only need to start with 20 or 30. Your herd will increase to several thousand, depending on how much land you have that would be available for this unusual enterprise.
The original article describing this unusual business, explained that a Mr. Gilman in an eastern state had a very profitable business, (partly because there wasn’t much competition).
Can you see yourself doing this? Maybe there is some vacant land in your area that you could lease for this purpose.
That’s it for this time. Look out for other posts from me on the unusual and proven to be successful businesses from years ago, or even today.
Best regards,

Many years ago, job seekers were told that your resume has to contain a list of bullet-point duties and responsibilities underneath each work position we’ve ever occupied – and the larger the amount the better. Not anymore! Today, companies are able to only allow fifteen seconds (maybe even less) when scanning through your resume. Don’t use the duties/responsibilities resume format!
