The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Have you ever heard the comment that those people who can't actually do anything properly themselves decide to become teachers instead?  I am afraid I fall into that category, I became a business teacher in the hope of inspiring young minds to go out there and make something of themselves...........

Twelve years down the line and I haven't really attempted that good old thing called entrepreneurship yet.  Well that isn't strictly true, I have had limited success at flea markets, I did well at a book keeping course, but never actually got a business off the ground - mainly because I became terrified of causing some poor unfortunate soul to lose millions, through some fault of mine.  And, to top it all, I am no Domestic Goddess either!  However, one thing is in my favour: my ability to remain positive.

And so with that in mind I would like to inspire you with some great ideas for businesses, things to start at home.  Such as starting a Day Care, hundreds of parents need good, solid home-based care for their children and are prepared to pay top dollar for the service.  A parents peace of mind is priceless.

Or you could turn your love for crafts into a business and offer lessons from home, scrapbooking is a great way to meet and mingle with other mums, so why not make a little money while you are at it?

On the other hand if you have a love for cooking why not start your own catering company, and turn your passion into a thriving business.

Remember good entrepreneurs often start with what they know, then what they love and then create a masterpiece..............you'll never know until you try.
