What is Left to Innovate?

[rudder]

For the average person who wants to become an entrepreneur and no longer wants to be a worker, would you recommend starting an average business?

What can be done from a traditional business framework that will benefit the world and enrich the individual? Does someone need to come up with a new idea? Or should they just take a stab at the myriad of existing niches (haircuts, laundromat, store, restaurant, Fulfilled by Amazon, Online language school, etc?) It seems like everything that could be done is already being done. Maybe the best thing is just to pick someone else's idea and do it better?

Obviously if you start a restaurant, you're not exactly shooting for the moon, unless you're the first person to build a restaurant on the moon.
Does a good business need to change the world? No. Furthermore, what can be invented that would? There's no such thing as a new idea. If it's such a good idea, then why isn't anyone doing it already?

Sadly, a lot of the things that would benefit the world are not profitable.

You'd want to be selling information products over the Internet or something. Running a traditional business during communism 2.0 is for chumps.
