Home Based Business Idea – Odd Jobs

If you enjoy variety and you are thinking about starting a home – based business, you may want to start a business doing odd jobs for people. Some people are just handy, and those skills that you have are very helpful to people who are not as handy as you are.

If you work or have worked in an administrative capacity, becoming a Virtual Assistant is a great way to … Continue reading →

Business Idea – Gardener

One example of a hobby that could translate into a home – based business is gardening. Many people enjoy tending to their own large or small flower or vegetable gardens at home. Some people like the way that gardens look but do not have the time or the desire to care for a garden of their own. These people may want to hire a gardener to plant one or more gardens in their yard and keep them maintained throughout the growing season. Being a gardener is slightly different than operating a lawn care or landscaping business. In fact, it involves … Continue reading →

A Fresh Home Based Business Idea

I must admit, I have a very bad case of spring fever right now. It started a few weeks ago, and it is getting worse by the day.

All of this wishful thinking about warmer weather made me think about gardening. If you enjoy gardening and you are thinking about starting a home-based business, perhaps you could grow and sell herbs. As an herb grower, you … Continue reading →

Support Home-Based Business This Holiday Season

While you may not be able to find someone who makes or sells everything that you need right in your community, there are so many home-based workers that sell all kinds of … Continue reading →

Work, Family and Service People

Yesterday, my work day was even more challenging than is typical—in addition to work, home, and family—I had the added excitement of trying to work at my desk and computer while a new door was being installed only feet away from my desk… We’ve talked about the interruptions and distractions of trying to run a home-based business, but we usually focus on family and children. I hadn’t really thought about what it’s like to juggle service people, deliveries, gardeners, plumbers and all of those other individuals who are just trying to do THEIR jobs while we are trying to do … Continue reading →
