Hello there,
My husband and I have a home based online business that may be right for you. I can't really give a lot of details here since it's against the rules of this site but if you're interested send me an email and I'll write back to you with more details.

You have to first find out what do you really like to do. What is your passion? I've seen people jumped into businesses, six months later found out that they don't like that business. They simply wasted time and effort. Finding out what are your passions will set you on a good start.
What are your strengths and weaknesses? Knowing your strengths and weaknesses enable you to put yourself in a position where you can add the most value to your business. For example, you like to interact with people, then you may want to consider in sales.
Knowing your weakness can help you to build that particular area up as well.
Go for networking, meet lots of people. They may open business opportunities for you. But consider them carefully, be slow in deciding.

Hi,here is one that you should consider. Health and wellness is a huge market since everybody wants to be healthy. You need to affiliate with a financially strong company that has unique great products that people will buy and use. A company with a generous pay plan that does not require a wizard to figure out. Free web sites to promote the products that show an 80% re-order rate. Details found at www.dna911.info

Why not consider a business opportunity recently endorsed by the billionaire Donald Trump for its ethics, honesty and integrity.
