Of Opportunities
For almost 2 years, I've studied business, and I've finally decided what to do with my life.
I want to be the richest person in the world . Also, I've came up with a good plan on how to do it, but I'm 14 already, and time is running out. My current reference on doing so is Bill Gates, as we all know, he's the richest person in the world. His software pretty much has a place in every business.
For those of you who do not know his story, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates.
As you can see, his business is based on an invention, one that just happened to be the biggest one in our time. First it was electricity, than stuff was based on that like computers and TV. They all have a hardware supplier like Alienware, Dell, at least for computers. Than there was software, like Windows. Things based on things, like a pyramide, business on top of other business, and they all provided 1 thing. Wealth.
Computers in my opinion is a replacement for paper. A source of knowledge and entertainment. A view of the world, sorta like a big window actually, a very big window. Such effective replacements can generate alot of wealth.
So what's this thread's point? To share such ideas, big ideas, your brainstorms, use your creativity and share these ideas with us. But remember, try not to post stuff that's already out there, like computers, cars etc.
Bill Gates does this with his company so he can start another business making more money, I want to do it with the public of Guild Wars, who knows, we might become partners someday.
Some might ask, why should I share them, I want to make money off this too before someone else does. Well ok, but arn't you going to need some people with you to do it? Well of course, Rome wasn't built by 1 man. But, if an idea actually pops up here that's...well really..BIG, I'd think it'd be nice to be business partners with someone I knew from a game forum, wouldn't you?
Also, another mistake is: If this is a big idea, why didn't someone else think of it? We might possibly be that someone else. Only people with lack of self confidence would say that. (Someone poor and unsucessful)
Anyways, onto the brainstorming.
I'll start: Teleportation, sucking up an atom 1 by 1 (in a fast rate of course) of a person, and reforming it after it comes through a big tube on the other end of where ever you intend to go...while still leaving that dude alive. You can transfer an entire person...but we have cars and trains for that.
Your turn. Be daring, be smart, be creative.

Well you can build a business on top of GW but it's a grey area. And that is gold farming, powerlevelling and and item farming. These all sell in game and for real world cash. It's a proven model and it works.
Disclaimer - i'm not saying you should do this, it's just an idea.
