Happy Wednesday everyone. Today I have my friend Elizabeth sharing some great home business ideas with you all that I think everyone can really benefit from!
The world of Business has changed drastically and people are looking for comfort, security and above all flexibility in making a living. The 9- 5 work is taking a hit as people especially women look for jobs that provide them with the necessary flexibility they need to make money for their needs. The term Home Business has become a norm not an anomaly
If you are stay at home mom or perhaps a working mom who wants to ditch the 9- 5 rat race, this term Home business will make a tremendous meaning to you. This is because it provides an escape route to pursue your passion and still attend to what matters the most to you be it your kids, health or family. Should you be considering starting a Home Business here are 3 simple businesses you can run from home
1 Online Coaching Business
Remember how you have to coach your little ones at home, one will think that adults do not require coaching right? Wrong. Millions of people are starting their businesses daily and they require that coaching to be able to succeed. With a coach, they can set goals and have someone to hold them accountable to those goals and ensure that they follow through. It’s even better where you have an expertise in one area so you can often be able to develop a strategy that will work well and also measure to see that results are coming in.
Here in lies your ability to offer online coaching to people who need it for a fee. You can charge per hour or per session, however you decide to do it, know that coaching online is a business that you can easily start by applying your already skills you already have that you may have acquired either while working or going through college or perhaps even while at home. Do you know that some first time moms find it difficult to get the hang of breastfeeding? Hence they have to see a lactation consultant in other to get the hang of it. This tells me that no skill you acquire is useless, all you have to do is to learn how to design it into bits and pieces and coach others who are struggling with it and Bam you have a business.
Your success with clients will often earn you a referral that will bring in more business, the key to succeeding in a coaching business is knowing your stuff and going to groups where those who need it will congregate.
