I know someone with a lot of energy, enthusiasm and confidence plus a healthy dose of entrepreneurial spirit.

I want to make use of his skills in some way (none of my current activities require them) but just can't think of anything. He's already involved in various other projects but I'm sure that if I proposed an idea or two, he'd be interested.

Yes, this is a bit lame but I'm out of ideas.

So, suggestions, please? (Amusing ones accepted and expected!)

What specific skills, experience and interests does s/he have?


Horses for courses and all that.

Set up a business..

As a joint venture, you both control it, see how he does..

Just out of the box thinking

Fair question. His current projects are so varied, I think he'd be interested in anything legal and moral.

His main skill is his ability to talk; he'd make a great salesman but I think that would be limiting him.

Unfortunately there are more good people than good ideas! I know a few people who would make excellent business operators/growers, but I just don't think there's enough business ideas to go around...

Fair enough. I seem to not know that many genuinely good people. Or our ideas of good are at differing levels.
