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.
