Re: home business's

Gail,
in order to work from home you need to be able to describe, in great detail, what benefits you can offer a potential employer. that is why i asked you about what skills you might have to offer. please take a moment to think about what skills you have to offer.

i am sorry to be so blunt. but when you are presenting yourself as a potential employee or contractor, the potential employer is not interested in your needs. that potential employer wants to know what you can offer in terms of skills, knowledge, etc.

therefore your job, here and now, is to
1)take stock of your skills and match those skills with potential employers requirements
2)contact those employers who require your skill set,
3)follow up.

let me give you a possible, real-world example:
if i was looking for, say, a typist. and now imagine that you were an expert typist responding to my advertisement. so now please understand this: i need to know what you can do for me using your skills. it's not that i don't care about your situation as a grandmother, but business is business. i'm not a bitch; but i have a business to run.

if we work well together, so many things are possible. realize that anyone for whom you may wish to work will feel the same.

extending the example wherein i might be a potential employer--focus on what you have to offer me and i will respond in kind.

Gail, take very careful stock of your skills. if you are honest with yourself, i think you will be surprised when you discover what you have to offer.

your next step will be to offer your skills and knowledge to the appropriate marketplace.

i hope i have helped somewhat. sorry to have gone on too long...
