Since 2001, Dane Carlson has been profiling and chronicling the best business ideas and opportunities in the world. This is not just another site focusing on how to get rich on the internet. Instead, Dane focuses almost exclusively on offline businesses, the unofficial slogan, "real business ideas for real people" guiding his research. Every day, Dane posts short excerpts from news sites across the world, clipping out the very best new business opportunities, ideas, franchises and businesses for sale and hi contrarian business spirit shows through in his unique take on what makes a good business idea (combining two radically different businesses into one (tire changing and ice cream)) and what makes a good small business owner (just sell something already and stop all that unnecessary planning!)
