30 Second/One Question Interview with Michael Cage

My next participant in the 30 Second/One Question Interview series is Michael Cage. I asked:

One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. What product or service have you imagined would be a good business opportunity, but you’ve rejected because it’s too off the wall?

Michael responded on his blog:

I have to admit, I had some trouble with this question.

Everytime I thought of a crazy business opportunity that I passed up on, I found someone … somewhere … who was doing it anyway. So, and I hope Dane won’t mind this, I’m going to answer with the business opportunity I rejected that I wish someone in my area would execute really well.

One of the biggest trends of the last decade has been the emergence of the “mass affluent.” Households bringing in 6-plus-figures per year, who are willing to pay premium prices for specific experiences. In this group you have a healthy number of small business owners, dual-income professionals and others who share the following traits:

  • They are short (or worse, negative!) on time
  • They don’t want to (or don’t have time to) handle household errands
  • They have an excess of money available for the right services

Businesses that serve people who will happily trade money for a little more free and/or productive time are poised for enormous growth now and in the future. After all, if it’s a choice between paying an extra buck or two per shirt for dry cleaning or having an extra half hour with little Johnny and Susie … is there really any competition?

So, the biz opp I passed up that I (selfishly) hope someone takes advantage of (specifically in the Fairfax County, VA … Reston, Herndon, Chantilly area … ahem) is a personal concierge service.

Make sure and click over and read the rest. He offers some excellent suggestions about how to do this idea right.

Thanks for participating, Michael!
