Looking to the Forum for business suggestions or opportunities.
What business need is missing in the lakes region that could sustain
year-round employment and income.
Appreciate everyone's feedback !

I'm not clear on your previous business experience, but it doesn't sound like you're in huge need of an income.
Retirement is a great time to do charitable works. If you're on the board of directors of a non-profit, you will cross paths with "working" directors and you may find opportunities to be on boards of "for profit" companies that are paid positions. You won't get rich, but you can do much good, and pay enough expenses to allow you to make a real contribution to your community.
In another direction, there are almost always opportunities available in your town on various appointed and elected positions. NH is run by volunteers.
"Getting a job" isn't retiring. It's time to do something for others, even if it's only delivering Meals on Wheels one day a week.
There are SO many things to do. It sounds like if we make suggestions, it will be something where you have no experience (nothing wrong there) and won't consider it. Time to try new things and help run things.
