I came across an interesting blog on unusual business ideas while finishing a COBOL project. It highlights profitable and unusual (should be pronounced in·no·va·tive and/or cre·a·tive) business ventures. Most importantly it shows that in a world of gigantic corporations, massive R&D departments, and millions of small businesses seemingly filling every niche too small for the big guys, there really is still room to make your mark and succeed.

The blog contains stories on businesses such as Goose Policing:

“David started Geese Police in 1986, as the solution to driving away unwanted geese from town parks, corporate properties, golf courses, or even front lawns. Using trained border collies, they drive away the geese without harming them. Today, Geese Police has considerably grown and expanded, earning just under $2 million in 2000. David has also begun to franchise his business to a highly selected group of individuals.”
