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,

Avoid losing the job by having a general resume! All a general resume does, is tell them how you fail like everyone else – not how you stand out from your competition for the same job.

Can you pay for a general one-size-fits-all resume, that you can submit anytime, anywhere, for any work? What Hiring Professionals say: It is a very bad blunder! The reality: Employers are required to handle as many as 400 resumes per day! Therefore they throw out any resume which is not specifically targeted to the work being offered.

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly think this website needs much more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the advice.
Very good article. I absolutely love this website. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Many thanks, However I am experiencing difficulties with your RSS. I don’t understand the reason why I cannot subscribe to it. Is there anybody having the same RSS issues? Anyone who knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanx.
You have made some decent points there. I checked on the net to learn more about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.
I love it when people get together and share thoughts. Great website, continue the good work!
Long time ago, people were told that the resume should contain a list of point-form duties and responsibilities beside each work position we have ever had – and the bigger the list the better. Not today! Nowdays, hiring decision-makers plan to only devote ten seconds (or less) when initially evaluating your resume. Don’t follow the duties/responsibilities resume template!
I really love your website.. Great colors & theme. Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my own blog and want to learn where you got this from or exactly what the theme is named. Thanks.
It’s hard to find educated people for this subject, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks

In the past, every resume opened by writing an Objective Statement – but not today! In today’s job market, hiring experts all agree, these types of resume sections contribute nothing when assessing your occupation qualifications. Which means, make sure to not write an Objective Statement!
