    I used to work in a bank until I had acquired enough business ideas from potential customers.
    That sounds like a solid business plan. Can I ask, did you approach the bank for a loan? And if you did, did it not worry you that the bank might steal your idea?

    I just applied for a staff loan for "home improvements" to start the first business. I couldn't trust my colleagues not to steal the ideas that I had stolen myself. ;)
