Not knowing what skills you have, no one could advise you. I suggest thinking about what you can do really well, and what you really enjoy doing, and go for it. In some cases, you may need more education. That will open doors that would have been closed to you previously. It would also show your children that it may be a hard road to travel, but with some work and determination, you can reach your goal. Good luck to you Take it light....

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. However, I hope that you might have found you dream job by now. I'm from India and right now there are very few opportunities here for working online.

I honestly don't know what to tell you except go for what you think your really good at and aim for that. I'm sure there is alot to offer out there if you can just do a little searching. I do wish you the best of luck and I hope you do find what you are looking for.

Hi well done on deciding to take that leap i am glad you have enough confidence and support to be able to do this. I would recommend you have a specific number that is given out, one which is monitored by someone organised and able to take no's details etc efficiently and a diary that you can keep track of what jobs are being done and when. Make sure when you quote for jobs you keep copies of what you quoted. I would also recommend that you use your networking skills and word of mouth. After all it's free. All the friends that you have helped out or done jobs for let them know what your doing and ask them to put the word out. Ask them to point everyone and anyone your way. Get some business cards printed up (vistaprint have free offers sometimes you just pay p+p) and hand them out. Give them to people that will make good use of them. I can't really give you any more advise without understanding what business you are trying to set up. But am always here to help I have a business degree so i have a little bit of knowledge in this area but although i know plenty of people who do i don't own my own business so i don't know everything.
