Dear Ivy:
Passion, passion and more passion. Find WHAT you are passionate about
FIRST! What is it that you like to do so much that you would bring it into
your house -- the place where you live and want to work? THAT is the key to
finding a home-based business and to making it a success.
Start with a list -- write down all of the things you are passionate about.
With that list, write down the things that you could do within those passions.
For instance, I liked to communicate via email, and knew that whatever I
chose, it had to include that form of communication. One day, while surfing
the web, I noticed the ads that were everywhere and decided I loved selling
and could sell ads online -- which fit with my entire list of passions! I get
to *talk* to people everyday, I get to enjoy sales and I get to do it all at
my own pace (or, as the case may be, at the pace of my children).
An example for you could be that you love art. What can you do, from home,
with that passion? If you wanted to work via the internet, you could start by
drawing and selling clipart! If you wanted to work out of your home on
paintings, you could offer commissioned paintings to local interior designers
and their clients! There are SO MANY opportunities to take this type of
passion to all new areas of interest!
So, first sit down and take some time to find what you truly like to do.
From there, follow the suggested guidelines for creating a home business of
your dreams! Best of luck,
