Sup Forums so I'm in a college class, called Writing For Workplace. I'm 22 yrs old not underagefag... I have a project that is due tomorrow which will count as our final exam.
We have to write a 6 page business plan. I'm generally a good writer and normally ideas come easy to me. For some reason, I'm struggling with this one.
We have to come up with a company name and product or invention. It can't be something that already exists. My original idea was a tracking app for lost keys/wallets that syncs to an app on your phone, similar to Tile, but with GPS software but he rejected the idea because it's an improvement on an invention that already exists.
So I need help coming up with an idea in regards to what my business plan will be about. There are a lot of great minds on Sup Forums so I figured I'd give it a shot. Once I have an idea the rest of the paper will come easily, I just can't think of an invention for the life of me.
Much love in advance
Ian Fisher
i know this feel, bump while i think
Henry Hernandez
Marijuana Dispensary
Buy low, sell high, and always flush.
There, done with pages to spare.
James Brown
No problem man, take your time... Sad thing is, my idea for the GPS tracking was used in one of my other classes this semester for the exact same fuckin thing, a business plan, and I ended up getting 93/100 on it but this dumbass professor wasn't feeling it :-(
Dominic Thompson
I actually thought of this, or something dealing with the marijuana industry...but I don't think he would accept it since dispensaries already exist lol. But thanks man.
Mason Clark
You are going to be pissed when the prof takes your great idea and puts intellectual property rights around it.
Give him a shitter and save the good stuff for yourself.
James Nelson
Yeah, that's my thoughts exactly...he's actually a patent attorney as his main profession. Thing is if I had a good enough invention that doesn't exist, I wouldn't be in his fuckin class, I'd be a business owner lmao.
David Cooper
I've got like, two papers due tomorrow for theatre. I am in no fucking hurry to finish them. Anyway,
Make it awesome. let's write about some kick ass illegal shit.
Jeremiah Wood
So cocaine delivery service then? Seriously, need to pick some brains ASAP. Not only do I have to write the 6 pages, I have to give a 5-10 min presentation too. (Once again, I'm good at presenting stuff so I'm not worried, I just need an idea!! Lol)
James Perez
write about becoming a NEET youtuber. It can be an income
Justin Cox
That's not really a business though :/ anything else?
Cameron Murphy
Cocaine? You need an idea? something that hasn't existed before?
Intelligence trading, espionage. spycraft and private investigator consulting.
Want something I kept thinking about today? It's legal, solar panel window blinds. Quick, tell me what the pages need to be about. like, do you need to write an intro, three body paragraphs? catch my drift? how is this paper supposed to be laid out?
Henry Baker
I came here for duda. Why is this Thread not about duda?
Brayden Walker
>Glowdies
Glow in the dark underwear - energy saving under garments. I did this in middle school.
Dominic Morales
One sec I'll screencap the assignment page
Landon Diaz
Duda is my lord and savior. Goes without saying man. He doesn't need a thread, he's already the GOAT
Jose Watson
>Sound Pads
recycled mouse pads for headphone pieces or engineer studio acoustics
Xavier Allen
you know when you get eggs, and like they come in boxes, well make an incentive driven business where you keep the boxes and re-use them at egg vending machines. Dat way you save enviornment.
Ryder James
After executive summary I just need a body and conclusion. Like I said, the paper won't be too difficult for me, it's just coming up with an idea lol... I like the espionage idea, maybe I should look into something in that field. Idk what it would be though.
Samuel Gutierrez
get a van and sell ham, jam , spam, lamb etc. from it.
Jordan Watson
Start a franchise restaurant that sells roadkill and stray dog with insect fries.
Christian Turner
Oh wow I actually like this. I'm a producerfag so this would be right up my ally. May have to do some research on this.
Thanks to everybody so far, keep em coming, this is definitely helping!
Cooper Wright
Make a machine that gets rid of gravity, and then charge people money for rope that keeps people attached to the floor.
Austin Nguyen
Weak one: A box of chewing gum that is made of plastic. The gum is lined up but when one pops out a spring pushes the remaining ones up so you don't have to try and slide it out of the packet. Refillable too so its cheap in the long run but handy too.
Jack Foster
And beans, greens, potatoes, and tomatoes?
Owen Stewart
Get an ice cream van and sell drugs from it. Visit shitty ass neighbour hoods and make hella dolla.
Aaron Fisher
Intelligence gathering and the utilization of new hacking tech that allows for your team of private investigators to retrieve sensitive data for your own security consulting reasons.
So someone comes to you and says that they feel they are being scammed, or money is being stolen by a business partner. Under a written agreement your company is assigned to the case and you begin to set a team of investigators and 'hackers' onto finding out everything you they can about the target in question. You reveal the evidence to your customer. If he likes what he see and can use what he has then he is obligated to pay you interest or something for the success. personally, i like the 'failure is not an option' idea better, but if upon failure you should compensate the customer for what resources you spent plus a little more of course.
So you take whatever you do legally, this intelligence gathering, and after some time and reputable gain amongst some of the high figureheads in the political and business world, you can start branching out over states, then over seas. Then you take your business global. Sell that sensitive information you've gathered over the years to intelligence agencies from here to India and everywhere in between and wide.
Brandon Ross
also very true, you have convinced me. my duda bring you good luck and much success with your project
Robert Ross
Yo chili fritos, fatboi!
Aiden Gomez
so you need an idea huh? come up with a product that gives you ideas,
1st we have to figure out why you dont have any ideas....
your brain is probably crammed with so much bullshit from school that u cant think on your own any more.
solutions....
Psilocybin mushrooms will clear that the fuck up so either right a paper on that ,or find some quick.
Jayden Martin
Hmmm, I'm going to look into this one too. That's good shit man, I appreciate it. This and the recycled mouse pads are my top two right now.
Jeremiah Perry
That's funnier than hell mayne
William Roberts
Much love man. I owe you infinite dudas.
Landon Powell
How about a business which sells drone/flying wing monitoring to people like farmers and such.
Samuel Cook
So they can easily spot and shoot them down? Judgement Day isn't a joke, user.
>ExoAromas
Spray dried fruits from around the world. Turn these fruits into sauce mixes for high end restaurants around the world.
Kevin Jones
Also both good ideas... Care to elaborate more with sprayed dried fruits? Sprayed with what exactly? Haha
This has gone a lot better than expected tbh. You guys are the shit. Least I have some ideas to toss around now.
Jayden Gonzalez
>H2Whoa!
Dried meals for future space missions, campers, war rations, and relief funds, everyone.
Jayden Hall
Hmmm. Doesn't that kinda already exist though? Good stuff though.
Grayson Clark
It's called spray-drying. Some kind of method through high pressure injection of 'liquid solutions high in soluble solids'. I believe it's the same as the powder packets you get in ramen noodles, don't quote me on that though. And it says in this book that there are commercial dried-product flavorings out there already. but maybe you can do this to meats or something, maybe a revolutionary beef bullion cube. chicken? lamb? bear?
Jose Hill
All you have to do is add water. Add water and you have a full meals worth of food in a matter of seconds. You're supposed to team up with a chef though. Turn a famous chef's menu into Major Tom's breakfast and the Marine's mid-desert dessert.
Blake Powell
Uber for hookers? You can see local hookers in your area and leave reviews on them and vice versa. Make all hookers take std tests and then you got a safe solution to prostitution
Tyler Ross
Okay, sweet!!! Another good idea. Out of this thread I can say there are 4 or 5 ideas I'm researching right now, more than likely gonna roll with one of them once I get it figured out
LOL this would actually be perfect for the city where my school is. No shit, I'd make a killing. But I don't think my professor would appreciate the presentation too much lmao
Nathaniel Flores
Wait a minute... what was your proposal????
>Third Chances Rehabilitation of criminally insane and mental disturbed children and teenagers into killing machines. You can start a mob. Your mob needs money and your goons aren't being paid enough for the work they're performing. These tasks include things like beating up (or disposing of), snitches, people in debt to your gambling houses, bad men who treat your prostitutes badly, competitors, informants, scammers, corrupt police officers.
Your thugs can't do shit anymore and you're losing faith, so your business is the solution. With the help of some dangerous minds and a little money in front of their faces, you can turn these rampaging maniacs into your body guards. But how will you pay for them to stay alive in the face of danger? You should train them. By who? Private military contractors and dishonorably discharged mercenaries for hire.
Nolan Price
Disposable trash cans.
Nathaniel Peterson
...
Henry Gray
My proposal was the GPS trackers that sync to an app on a phone. Wallet size, key size, etc. I got 70/100 on it because it wasn't an invention, just an improvement on something that already exists, hence my problem hahah.
Luis Diaz
Ever consider your professor is a pretentious dick who is trying to teach you the lesson in failure? Failure should you not accept contempt. Some philosophical words of wisdom written by some Asian thinker in a land before time? Maybe humanity has all it needs, and imperfection is an attempt at improving something that does not require it. Thinking outside of the box?
Do you know if for certain anyone else in your class has gotten a 100 on their similar papers?
So let's narrow the topics down and stay on topic while we're at that. >Technology >Food >Art >Animals >Travel >Machinery >Outdoors >Fashion >Entertainment >Pleasure >Service
Foreign or Domestic? Legal VS. Illegal
Jason Sullivan
Perhaps he/she knew you would ask for help. And you should. And you should learn how important people's ideas are to themselves. I always liked watching The Social Network, and it always gave me a creative, enthusiastic spark. But maybe just scimming some good movies can give a general quick idea?
Mason Martin
Hmm, didn't think of it like that, maybe so. Preferably technology since that's more tailored to my skills/interests. It can be foreign or domestic, but has to be legal.
Jackson Wright
Eeeeeiiiiiwwwwwwww >Aliens Space! The new frontier! Terraforming! Planning for the advancement of civilization among the stars!
Levi Brown
If I'm going to spend hard earned cash on an expensive solar energy system, I'm not going to buy something that will be out of commission most of the bright sunny days. I also don't want my solar panels having so many moving parts that will eventually break, especially when used by so many different people.
Gabriel Roberts
Here's a tip. Don't begin a paragraph with so.
Bentley Hughes
I'm not buying eggs from a vending machine. Ever. For multiple reasons...
Dominic Gonzalez
I had this same annoying class to come up with a brand new invention. Here was mine.
My favorite front another student was a reverse doorbell that called your cat's name through an outside speaker to come to the door
Isaac Sanchez
You just invented a PEZ dispenser. Congrats.
Jonathan Bell
Pretty sure this isn't my paper man, haha. Was just looking for tips. My professor isn't grading my thread on Sup Forums my dude
Cooper Brown
Literally everything that currently exists is an improvement on something before it. Your professor is a fucking retard
Logan Taylor
Thank you. Seriously, thank you.
Joshua Brown
Jesus. Your professor is a bit of scumbag, sitting there collecting his student's ideas so that he can patent them if he likes them.
Oliver Moore
I actually really like this lmao. How did you get around the fact that some urinals & shitters have an auto flush? Like what are the advantages of flushing with your elbow instead of the automatic flush?
Christian Lewis
parner with major tech companies and teach ethical hacking online.
Part of the curriculum will be breaking into and finding vulnerabilities in cached versions of their software. You can offer the course for free and make money by charging companies to pen test their software/infrastructure. Basically FCC but for hacking/pen testing instead of making shitty web apps and interfaces. Don't mention FCC and it will seem like an original idea
James Cruz
Uh, some kind of software that uses sound imagery, like bats do with their screeches. Using high frequency signals to measure the insides of rooms. I think Batman uses this tech in the The Dark Knight. So instead of advancing on this tech, you will advance the idea of living condition simulations software!
Together, with years of climate research across the globe and countless species and fauna studies. Use an Artificial Intelligence to predict and image scenarios of calculable occurrences like tornadoes and floods in the desert or the arctic. Because what if we went to another planet and found t be a desert - or a winter wonderland?
Your business encounters the latest NASA budget funding cuts. So you have to start outsourcing your resources for consulting advice and business deals. In fear of having to let people go, morale plummets. You appeal and stress the importance of science research and exploration. Funding is met by reaching diversity requirements, your company now hires people from across the world.
You can train and prepare astronauts for the ever-long dream of reaching Mars and beyond in the face of any worse possible scenario. The next generation of humanity.
Matthew Ortiz
Loool, 6 pages?? Are you sure that you arent an underage school kids?? Even in nurse school, a patient report would need to have at least 15 xD, a family health planning like 40 and a management program would easilyngo over 100 pages... You are such a faggot
Caleb Lee
I proposed it as a temporary improvement until the more expensive auto-flush units were eventually installed.
I work in the maintenance department and learned the manual flush urinals have more problems because nobody flushes them.
Ryder Bailey
Now instead of just washing your fucking hands, you should also wash your elbow...
That nasty thing is going to absorb so much piss. How unsanitary you are, user.
Angel Sullivan
that course is a complete waste of time, I literally could learn everything in one day. I remember having assingments like writing an email to another coworker or customer. If you didn't use emojis or blatantly post a script of a scat porn you'd pass
Hudson Ortiz
And that wooden paddle forces them to flush a manual urinal...?
Michael Sanders
It was just a prototype. A real one would be made of the same cleanable metal as other washroom fixtures. Besides, people seem to be more willing to get "germs" on their elbow then on their hands.
Asher Williams
Yeah dude. It's the easiest fuckin class ever and the professor is trying to turn into rocket science cause he teaches like two classes. Everything else has been easy af, as this will be once I research an idea enough to continue the paper.
Parker Walker
The idea is that they would be more willing to flush it since they didn't have to use their hand. Plus the sign above would remind them to flush in an agreeable manner.
Kevin Myers
a fucking time machine because fuck this retard and his vague rules. If you are susposed to 'invent' something that doesn't rely on existing technology then you can literally fucking say anything
Carter Price
And why not just use my elbow on the existing flush mechanism?
Lincoln Baker
It's awkward to bend over that far, so most people won't do it. This paddle makes it easier and more convenient.
Daniel Stewart
i did it online, 3 month course and i spent maybe 4 hours total on the whole thing
we had to come up with a business plan and do actual 'market' research like surveys and whatnot, i completely made up everything like spending a whole day interviwing random strangers about adding a diner to some street corner
Jaxon Ortiz
So you come to /B to ask for an idea that you can steal from user's?. You are a new fag asshat. GTO my /B.. This is coming from a 47 yo marketing/sales executive of a multi-national company.
Adam Howard
As I stated in I can use my elbow to flush the existing mechanism. No different than that pedal. Also, if I don't plan on flushing a toilet, there's not a single sign in the world that can coax me into it.
Jaxson Gray
Steal? Lol. If people offer me advice, how is that stealing? I know you're a troll but fuck ya, it worked cause I've got 5-6 good ideas to research now to form the paper. I win! XDDDDD
Lincoln Nelson
hah well like I said the paddle makes it easier and more convenient.
The sign would at least get you thinking about it though.
Jace James
Are you 12 fucking feet tall? Bend over to flush a urinal? Usually the low ones are on a fucking toilet with a seat. If you want people to bend over to flush one of those pedals where someone has for certain pissed all over it, you're even more nasty than I first though. I'll just use my foot, thanks...
Carson Turner
heh well it's really only intended for a urinal. It's unlikely someone is pissing high enough to hit the flusher on a urinal
Benjamin Nguyen
supercooled magnets used as conveyors for factories
if you ignore the ridiculous energy requirements its not a bad idea and i doubt your prof has the tech background to understand it
Blake Lopez
No...using 'XD" means you still lose. And you'll continue to lose until you stop it, you fucking child.
Kevin Nguyen
shut up you fucking retard and stop posting in a thread you clearly hate
Connor Hall
Now you just seem like your dense and can't follow a conversation. Thankfully this will be the only time we ever speak to each other.
Carson Rodriguez
Not until the stupidity is dealt with.
Thomas Peterson
who is stupid? people discussing the topic or you bitching about the topic? please explain, are you lonely or some shit?
Isaac Rivera
There's been plenty of stupid posted here.
Is one of the few more intelligent post in here.
Christopher Collins
its a comms class for college, it doesn't even require an actual legit idea, just 6 pages of complete bullshit
Connor Flores
Waste removal system. If you're in a spot without proper facilities, you can utilize the Chipper Shipperâ„¢. It's a small rubber platform that you shit into, then helium canisters inflate attached balloons and float the payload to any Muslim destination.
Angel Gray
Why do you want someone else's bullshit?
Joseph Turner
OP I wish you could figure out an invention that would make this teacher obsolete, therefore you'd force the guy to admit he could easily be replaced
these guys haven't been in an actual workforce for decades and yet expect people to learn from them, it's a ridiculous situation
Hudson Cooper
im not OP
Daniel Roberts
Here's some of the other ideas my prof rejected
A cubicle traffic light for people with no door to close
Landon Stewart
The "Correct-a-muslim" a small nanoscale device that can be stabbed into a muslim (by attaching it to a knife, axe, katana, etc) which then deconverts the muslim to an Atheist, provided they survive.
Jack Reyes
that's not an invention, its just colored lights lol
Ethan Jenkins
A basket that attaches to a fan for better DIY air conditioning
Aaron Baker
an improved desk IN-tray for today's busy worker
Parker Foster
An underground system of pipes filled with a very viscous liquid, at each end is a plate which interacts with the fluid, using morse code you can transfer signals long distances reliably without electricity, when you press down on one end it would raise the other
just assume you are superman when you do it
Juan Garcia
If you're going to help fight OP's battles, then you answer the fucking question or shut the fuck up.
