I need suggestions on a viable, low-cost, business to start. I gotta get outta the rat race. Can you guys help me brainstorm?
Self-employment suggestions?

Solar powered dildos. It's clean energy. And you can put it on your window seal on a nice sunny day for a quick recharge.
If your good at manfacturing you could make meth. Or start a brothel we need more of those
Cocaine
Look dude the only thing that really makes money is porn. That **** is legit. Also don't forget to hook willy and I up with free access
If any of us truly knew that, don't ya think we'd being doing it instead of telling our great idea to someone else?
It depends where you live, how much usuable space you currently have and your available time. You might try wheeling and dealing in flea market type-items. Hit up garage sales, Goodwill and thrift stores. eBay, Craigslist and etsy are decent outlets.
Maybe you could open a martial arts studio and get Steven segal to train some kids to be badasses like him. I'm pretty sure he's unemployed and could use the money. Or a boxing studio, I'm sure child support is a ***** and evander Holyfield has like 12 kids with 10 baby momas. He's currently doing Hardee's commercials so you know he's cheap lol
Actually another thing you can do is start a church like Jon Oliver did. You'll be raking in tax free profit within days.
Cant believe I am going to answer this seriously...
Have you thought of making mobile apps for companies? I know a few people that do this. The software is relatively cheap, the programs make the apps easy to design so little computer knowledge is needed. You then reach out to companies and organizations and sell them an app for their business.

You could try selling a product or providing a service.
I'm all for entrepreneurship, but you need to approach this as something you have a passion about or where you see a large need - at least locally. Just looking to be your own boss in order to generate cash is usually not enough.
You need to be able to say "I've always wanted to own a landscaping company" to be successful. Just wanting to be in business isn't enough and usually leads to multi level marketing BS. Find what you like to do or find a need in your community.

Quick money, low start up costs? So what criminal art or unethical but legal things would you be unwilling to do because those are about your only options: crime and sleezebagging. Unless you already have the equipment for a trade that you can run out of your house until you have the money to get a separate building for your business.
Rent out your house as a Bed & Breakfast.
Consulting. Consultants make a lot of money.

Porn consultants especially. Watch the movie "orgasmo"
Auto-erotic asphyxiation - convert all equity to cash, withdraw said cash, pay yourself said cash for the pleasure of auto-erotic asphyxiation, and be handsomely paid for the rest of your life.
As someone who would love to get out of the grind, be careful about giving up a good paying job for the dream of working for yourself.
Knew a guy who was middle management at the Toyota plant in Georgetown. Got hired not long after they started up and worked his way up the ladder. Was making well over a 100 grand a year and this was probably 10 years ago.
Even though he was making a great living, he was sick of the long hours and constant stress that goes along with the manufacturing field.
So he goes and buys himself a backhoe and a small dozer. Decides to start doing various landscaping, septic install, etc. Does this for a little while on the side, and then, boom, he quits Toyota and goes into it full time.
Doesn't even make it a year. Sells his equipment for a loss. Winds up bouncing around several factories, using his Toyota experience to land decent middle management jobs. But none of them come close to what he had at Toyota. So now he constantly wishes he would have stayed at Georgetown and built up his retirement fund.
I credit him for having the guts to try something new. But there is huge risk involved.

I worked with a guy that did something similar. Our jobs didn't pay great, but we had low stress, and good benefits. He tried opening a restaurant and place to make meals for the week. The last I heard was he had been spotted driving a school bus. Nuclear engineering degree down the drain.
Seems like there would be a lot more steps than "failed restaurateur" between nuclear engineer and bus driver. You sure there wasn't a heroin addiction or something sprinkled in there?
It's weird, but I don't think drugs were ever involved. The guy was very intelligent, but lacked discipline. He claimed that he had some form of attention disorder. He couldn't finish anything (surprising that he got his degree).
Speaking from a position of knowledge.....I'm in some related fields and I would tell you to skip this one. If you go the franchise route you will *never* make real money. If you go it alone as a startup in commercial/office cleaning you will have a very difficult time against said franchisees and illegals working for nothing. Illegals everywhere. Commercial cleaning is basically a commodity at this point.
Someone hit the nail on the head that you need to find something you have passion for....just saying I want to be my own boss with half your heart in it is a recipe for disaster.
Zencat. Office cleaning? You serious Clark? So you wanna be an office maid. Ok, but be prepared to compete with with a plethora of self-owned businesses ran by 50 yr old alcoholic women with pill problems. If that's your thang, go for it.
