I would open a candy shop with goods from all over the world. I would buy something that reminded me of home or from a place I've been to. I also would like to try the local candies! I would make my own taffy apples in the window or carmel popcorn so the aroma would catch passer by and lure them in to the shop. I would also sell ice cream bars, soda, bottle water and juice. I would design the interior to reflect a quaint old fashioned parlor or in a way to reflect the history of the island. Good luck in the future!

The best business that you can start will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting, and what the market needs. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while you would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:

1. List 5 things you do best
2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want
4. Learn the value of your services to others
5. Find out who else offers similar services
6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it

He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:

Best Businesses Using Craft or Physical Skills
- antique restoration
- auto detail service
- carpet cleaning business
- errand/delivery service
- housecleaning business

Best Service Businesses
- bed and breakfast operator
- caregiver
- catering service
- senior day care center

Best Professional Businesses

A hair and beauty salon. If you live on an island,, especially with tourists, they will love you!! Try to get a naill tech too! The laws are actually easier on Beauty parlours.

You could paint a donkey like a zebra and sell photos of tourists sitting on it. I suggest 5 dollars per photo.

tour guides. maybe rent scooters. open a bar! you can make 300% profit on alcohol.

How about a souvenir shop? The tourists might flock toward it. Sell maps, junk food, candy, stuff like that. Other convenience store items. Cigarettes, simple medicine (Aleve, Advil), newspapers, postcards.
