There is Art for Infants, Scrapbooks for Anything and not one of thousands of new businesses has anything to do with internet. They all have to do with necessity being mother of invention, desperation and a desire not to be discriminated when you are 40. Oh, yeah, and making money, too.

Walk through your house, room by room , including attic and garage. What do you do well? What excites you? If it excites you, it excites someone else. How can you make it work for others?

Whether you are 7, 47 or 70, you can start your own business. I saw a young girl in front of a Designer’s Showcase house that was selling cake slices and cookies. I asked how she was doing and who made sweets. She said she did, made $34.00 and was happy and proud.

So was I. No one told her she couldn’t. There may be no limits to her desires.

By now you are saying, OK, that works for others, but not me. On contrary. No more excuses. If you already own a business or are an independent professional, you can still do something else. Create something new or invent a niche within your existing business.

If you have a 9-5 job, set aside 10 per cent of your day, that’s 24 minutes, and take inventory. What are your hobbies? Look at what’s missing and fill void.

But first, STOP! Stop reading headlines or doing anything that provides no benefit to your life or does not align with your own personal values.

Learn that living your own life will leave you with no time to read headlines and loads of time to be creative and really Celebrate Your Life, no matter what your age. ~.~~.~~.~~.~~.~ Joanne Victoria - Coach, Speaker, Author Helping independent professionals and small business owners be successful and still stay true to who they really are.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

This book is not a one-size-fits all.

But, it could be!

If any part of this book works for you, follow THREE STEPS to create your life way you want.

Remember, in order to reinvent yourself, in order to create life you want, you need to get rid of what you don’t want, what doesn’t work for you, in order to create space to do what sparks your spirit.
