What's the business you'd pursue if you had more time?

I thought it could be valuable for the forum to have a brainstorming session vis-à-vis entrepreneurial opportunities.


My question is: Is there any business you know of that you would start/found if you had more time? I.e. if you weren't a FTE or student.


Mine would be to start a fundraising agency for non-profits. I found out that the commission they receive is 12-17x the monthly contribution of the monthly contribution they raise. I.e if I convince you to donate USD 50 a month to combat climate change, I would receive USD 600 - 850 as commission. Do that two, three times a day and you're already making half a million a year.


I'm a really entrepreneurial person, and ideally, I would love to be an entrepreneur long-term.


If there's any business idea you have, I would very much appreciate it if you could add it to this post. If we combine our ideas/observations, we could create a collection of 10-15 high quality business ideas for all of the people reading this post to benefit. 


What are your thoughts/observations/ideas?
