Self Employment continued

You may prefer the idea of something completely different, perhaps cashing in on a skill you’ve developed through a life-long hobby or sport or learning something new.

Areas which are in at the moment are any form of personal care, from complementary medicine to beauty therapy, and self-improvement in the form of coaching in areas as diverse as dieting and life/work planning. Training will be your first expense, and then you have to think about premises. These will vary in cost, from your living room for telephone and email coaching, to renting space in a local alternative health practice – or converting the spare room if you are lucky enough to own your own home.

The internet offers plenty of chances to earn your living - selling on Ebay, becoming an affiliate, creating your own digital products or MLM.

The number of people taking off for the sun or the snow and setting up a business abroad, such as bed and breakfast or activity holidays seems to be spiralling out of control, if the resulting TV documentaries are to be believed. Buying property or real estate to renovate and sell for profit or on a buy to rent basis are also becoming popular.

It’s important to feel comfortable about your new career. It’s easy to be swayed by trends and ,o f course, it is essential to make sure there is a market for whatever products or services you choose to sell, but if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, you’re either going to end up being one of those statistics – or just plain miserable. On the other hand, choose something you love and you’ll get great satisfaction from doing your own thing.
