Good with your hands, know how to use a drill. Something a man or woman can do. Sick and tired of working in an office 9 to 5 week in week out.
Want to get out and about meeting new people and go new places. Want to create an easy to run small business that you can run part time to start. Then move onto full time with out risking your present income.
Then why not do what I do for a living. I will never be rich doing this, but I enjoy going to work pretty much most days. That's more than 90 % of people can say. I make a comfortable living and get to choose my own hours.
So your saying "what do you do for a living thats so good". Well in a nutshell I fit curtains, I can hear you say what do you mean you fit curtains.
Just after I tell people what I do for a living. There is a pause while they look at me strangely then say oh!
This is probably the point that you say, but I know nothing about curtains or window treatments. You don't need to know anything right now. With a bit of research to start and a bit of practice at home and a friend or two's home. You will have enough to get started the rest you will learn on the job.
I'm sure your thinking it sounds too simple it won't work. Well it's the way I got started and I got my nephew started full time in his own curtain fitting business.
I can't do one to one with you, but I can do the next best thing.I have built a website all about window treatments and how they are fitted. I am continuing to write new stuff all the time. For the moment all the info is free.
Go on step out and change your life. I worked in an office for 10 years and hated it. The only regret I have is that I did not do it sooner.
You may be thinking how much can you earn doing this. Well it's all about supply and demand. Everyone has windows that need dressing.We all know a plumber or electrician or a joiner.
But when was the last time you ever bumped into a curtain fitter.You never wondered who fitted those curtains in that hotel or restaurant.

A home business can make you a little bit of income, or a lot. It depends on what you do, and what you sell. But in almost all cases, no matter what you are selling, you can make a home business generate a lot more profit. Here are some proven ways of taking home more of that money you are leaving on the table.
1. Make one-time offers on complementary products. If you have ever ordered from QVC or the home shopping network, you know about upsells and one-time offers. Sometimes, they keep offering you more stuff until you finally say no - which can be up to 20 times more money than the thing you called in to buy.
2. Sell more focused products - things that your target market really want. If you sell them exactly what they want, you'll not only make more money, but you will get happier customers. To do this, you will need to understand your customers, and there is no better way of understanding them, than to ask them what they want. Put a question on the thank you page, or send them a survey link after they order - it can double your profits.
3. Optimize your sales process. It is well known that printed material - both mailed and online formats, are salesmanship in print, and by optimizing your materials, you can generate more sales, and create more profits. This often involves hiring a professional copywriter, or learning how to write persuasively yourself (which can be a long, time consuming process). Ultimately, it is one of the most profitable things you can ever do, since changing your conversion rate (the percentage of viewers that make a purchase) from 2% to 3% means you just increased sales by 50% - which often means your profits double.
4. Increase rapport with prospects and customers. This means getting to know your prospects and customers better, so you can better serve their desires. By providing useful service, your prospects and customers will come to like you and respect you, which has been proven to increase their likelihood to buy from you again. The biggest companies in the world have mastered this, by giving their customers high quality stuff that they come back for time and again. And those companies that fail to learn this quickly discover that the cost of finding new customers is about 1000 times more expensive that keeping an existing customer.
If you do not yet have a consistent online income, then you should get some help to learn how to get a product that a focused group of people are looking to buy, and the way to reach that group of people, and the way to persuade them you have what they are looking for. If this is new territory for you, having someone that knows how to do this can shave 3 years off the time it takes to succeed.
