If you had the opportunity...

We all know times are tough and we live on the breadline (may just be talking about myself), but lately I find myself wondering. What could I do if I had the opportunity to do so? If I had the financial baking to do what I wanted to do?

I don't live my life in regret, and don't look back and think what if. But this is more of a dream, there's nothing wrong with being an adult and still dream and have aspirations. Sometimes we get in a rut of work, home etc. and wonder, is this what life is about?

What do you guys/gals think? If you had the capabilities, what would you do with it?
This doesn't need to be a financial/business matter, could be anything that you would have done given that you had the opportunity to do so.

If I had the financial backing and support of family, I'd start my own business. Almost did, but circumstances had me choosing otherwise.
I still do wish to start my own business, but I can't imagine it happening too soon.

There are many "episodes" in my life I regret being a part of, but it happened and it is an experience; something to learn from or learn for.

What business would you start?

If I had the financial backing I would go back into game development and create the game that I've planned out so well but these days just never find the time to work on.

I was going to open up a tuckshop/internet café in the area that I lived.

I am planning on starting a small business soon but im not going to divulge in any details as im still fleshing out some things.

if i had alot of money i would go live in switzerland, that place is truly stunning imo or on an island like the maldives, away from all this pollution and crime & cANCer Corruption.

Given the financial backing I would open up a dev shop focusing on mobile and web applications, with a consulting and outsourcing arm. I have a couple of fantastic ideas for apps and sites that will eventually gather momentum and generate income.

If I had the fortune, would got diploma/degree. Then started a company that used game engines as solutions for companies problems(Not saying for every problem but a particular problem).
My brother just became unemployed, so I'm piggy backing on him to get things off the ground, but with so little time during the night and with him living a distance away from me, its been rough.

Gamification is a great way to solve problems.

I've always dreamt of owning a coffee shop, I'd have a bakery attached to it as well. Then I would pursue my dream of writing novels which I could do so in my own coffee shop.
