Are you good enough to do anything professionally? email this discussion to a friend?

I am not good enough in something to do it professionally. What I was thinking about when I thought up this question, was how many people on mylot seem to be able to cook really well. I mean really well. So I thought perhaps some of them were good enough to go into catering. I am pretty sure Grandpa Bob could set up his own produce market since he grows so many things, and they turn out so well. So...?

Everyone has a potential to be good enough in doing something professionally. Sometimes this potential lies in your characteristic and may have not been found yet. I believe cautiousness and patience are necessary if you want to be good at cooking. Some people on mylot might be capable of cooking really well, others may have not tried that just because they don't have spare time or they don't feel confident about themselves.

I meant right now is someone good enough.

I can cook. Most people can. But the ones I'm thinking of make dishes that are unbelievable.

Maybe for the time being, you are not so professional at cooking at he is, but certainly you can learn from him, if it is possible, and improve your own cooking skills. I uesed to be a bad cooker, but I have made some efforts in learning how to cook, from the internet and I even bought some cooking books. And now I can say that my cooking is not bad, really, and sometimes when I invite my best friend home and cook a big dinner for her, she appreciates my cooking greatly and even admires me^_^

I am a dance teacher. I have also performed in musical theater and dance professionally, for a little. So, I guess that I am a professional! LOL

Definitely!

If you are talking about cooking. I am the best, I could cook many food such as chinese food, italian food, american food, or any kind of food as you wish. I am really with Asian food, name it and I can do it:)

I noticed the profusion of cooks
on Mylot too. And, I'm always wondering
why the talented chefs don't just set up
a part time home business.

Gardening is a natural partner to
farmer's markets.

Guess people just have so much stuff
going on in their personal lives they don't
have time for part time money making
ventures.

If it were me, I'd make time!

Never going to turn down the opportunity
to earn more money.

Well, I have started my own business based on my enjoyment of candy making. And I am pretty good at it if I do say so myself. I have plenty of people backing me up on that one too. I am not rolling in dough yet, but I am getting to where I have loyal repeat customers.


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15310)   ranked 327 out of 35,311 in people  7 months ago

Yes, I had forgotten about that. I remember when you told us about your first order. Now if Mylot would just send me your notifications, perhaps I'd be less likely to forget these things. angry

Necessity is sometimes the mother if invention! I make gift baskets for guests who come to this Island and stay in villas. If they are repeat guests then the owners or travel agents will order a gift baskets from me. It is not a huge money maker but Imade about US$500 this last tourist season asnd I was so glad to earn the extra money. I went online for ideas and then added some of my own. I don't consider myself professnional - but I tryhappy

I'd say that is pretty good!

I'm not sure if I can cook well enough to do it professionally. I've been told I could open up a catering business and it would do well. I love to bake and cook and have catered several dinners for church and civic groups. I just don't have the faith in myself to jump off and do it for a living.


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15310)   ranked 327 out of 35,311 in people  7 months ago

And it is hard to have the faith in any new venture with the economy how it is now.

I make an awesome spagetti dinner with meatsauce. My brother and nephew love it! LOL I've spent 20 years in the Early Childhood profession. So I guess that's what I do professionally.

hi Ambie Pam reading your discussion I also spontaneously thought of GrandpaBob not only for his gardening skills but also for his excellent cooking skills. He has shared so many great mouthwatering cooking ideas with us here.
I am not good at doing anything professionally like cooking or gardening or whatever. The only thing I could do is write letters to help these who are not good at that. Like my husband he hates writing letters and I even do write the Christmas Mail and Birthday cards to his family so he only got to sign them.
