What Are Your Talents?

What sort of business will you start?

If you have a special talent or a cherished hobby - and all of us have a special talent somewhere lurking within us - think about how your special talent or hobby may be turned around into a business that you can run from home.

If you like to do something or have previous experience in a field, it will be easier to turn it into a possible money maker.

Start off writing down your interests, hobbies and abilities. It doesn't have to be spectacular. Just things you enjoy doing or things you've been trained to do, as in a work environment.

I worked 13 years in a general insurance agency and became quite knowledgeable about insurance coverage and recommending different programs for a variety of applications. I also worked as a telephone operator for a time and enjoyed it immensely. I've also helped install in-ground swimming pools! The point here?

We all have different experiences and abilities that make us who we are as individuals.

Think about all the variety of experience you bring "to the table" and - write it down. It will help you sort through the maze of discovering what type of home-based business you can start and eventually help you afford to stay home.
