Well, what first do you have expertise in- if you have never drilled wells, for example, that should be near the bottom of your listLots of demand for backhoe and bobcat services, thoughBasic trucking of soil, stone, sand, debris, etc also does wellAlso depends on how well you can sell yourself and your business servicesTalk to a local university, they often have a business development program you can get free help from, the state probably has one as well that can help guide you in all the business requirements you would need to know about-also freeTake your time and do your research and it will be worth itGood luck!
In the 1950s, the average working city in America had a lot of factories and warehousesMost of the men would have worked in the factories and they would have been paid $3 or $4 an hour plus overtime, which would translate to about $6000 or $7000 a yearMost people would have lived in small bungalows in the suburbs or older wood or brick houses close to the city Typically, in a family, the husband worked, the wife stayed home and looked after the kidsThe husband would have been the dominant partner in most marriages as he earned the bread for the familyAn unmarried woman might have worked; if so she worked as a teacher or a secretary or a librarian or a receptionist A working class city would have had a lot of different ethnic groups, such as Irish, Italian, Polish, German, East European, etcHow well they got along would have depended on the townMost likely, they would tolerate each other but not interact with each other very muchThe black community would have been segregated; they would have lived in one section of the town or city and done menial jobs such as janitor or porter or elevator operator.
Digital has revolutionized the wedding/portrait business by allowing the photographer to complete the shoot, polish up the pics, and upload to an online printing agencyYou simply e-mail the client w/the album info and password, they pick the ones they want and order them from the printerSo in theory, after you complete the shoot and editing, your involvement endsKeep in mind, you should try several online printing services, I like snapfish, but there are several out thereUpload several copies of the same photo, with different color profiles assigned to see what file produces the best results.You will need not only a quality Dcam, but a fast internet connection, and a firm grasp of color calibration/management if your going to achieve consistent resultsStudy online or take a class in digital to get the basics down, there is more to it than most people thinkI would also recommend you research wedding photography, contracts, think about an assistant for the day of the shoot, and you will want to have at least 1 second camera body and flash set up in caseSo as you can see there is quite a bit to think about, let alone a substantial monetary investment to be made if your going to do it rightG'Luck.
Listen, with all due respect to the other answers, here are a few things you need to think aboutFirst, have you already paid the taxes on the $120,000.00 If not, based on how you recieved it you will pay different percentages towards taxesYou may find out that you already have a whole lot less to work with from the startSecond, once you have resolved the tax issue, you need to look at yourself and determine what your abilities areNo piece of equipment or real estate will make money for youYou MUST know how to use the product to maximize its potentialReal estate right now is something that unless you know what you are doing could leave you with less money in your pocket than you started withIf you don't already have a Masters degree and have the ability to invest $120,000.00 in an education, this would be far more profitable than almost any venture you could get intoA person with a Masters Degree in business can earn more money in a year than most people in N.Csee in their lifetimeFinally, if you are determined to spend this money, this says a great dealThe fact that you are coming to a web site that is pretty much littered with people who don't understand how to handle money says that you need to talk to an investment expertLook, I'm not trying to say that the advice you were given here is wrong, except for the tree service, however, I am 42 years old, have a MASTERS DEGREE in BUSINESS and am semi-retired from my own Heating air conditioning corpI am speaking from experienceMy business is one of the most profittable ones out thereYou might want to think about going and getting a two year AssocDegree in HVAC-R and working for 4 years in the trade and then go into business for yourselfWhile you are going to school apply for aid and talk to an investment advisor who can help you plan the best way to invest the money and maximize the profit from itI hope this info helps.
