It is not difficult to find a lot of start up business ideas on the internet. The problem is that most lists are pretty much identical. You can almost always count on hair salon, day care service, wedding consultant, day spa, bed and breakfast and gift basket service being on the list. What if you don't have any interest in any of those options?

The truth is that the world wide web is the wrong place to begin your search for start up business ideas. The first and best place to look is within. Which would you prefer: a business that makes you money or a business that make you money and you enjoy?

The question is not which business opportunity is right for you but how do you transform your passion into a business.

You've heard the old saying "It's not how you begin but how you finish that counts," haven't you. It's really hard to finish something that you are not passionate about, especially a business that requires lots of time, energy and money.

The first step to success is identifying what you are passionate about. What do you enjoy doing? What do you do that gives you a sense of satisfaction? What can you work hard at and fell like you've hardly worked at all? You may already have a few things in mind. If not, look around your house. What books or magazines do you read? What objects do you possess?

Once you have identified two or three things that you really enjoy, you need to discover how much potential for profit there is for each one. While passion is important, you don't want to start up a business with little or no potential for making you money.

After you have identified your passion and verified it's profitability, you should test the idea before actually starting a business. The fastest and cheapest way to do that is to build a business website based on your passion. You can build a theme-based website, generate traffic and test your idea within a few weeks with very little investment. After validating your idea through testing, you can continue to run the website as a way of generating clients.

A popular website is important even if you have a local business as Dr. Burch found out. He increased his income at his local dental practice by more than $10,000 a month after building his website.

What is the path to a successful start up business idea? One, identify your passions. Two, discover their profitability. Three, test the potential of your idea.
