After
seven years of marriage, you have nothing to show for your academic
qualifications because your husband foots all the bills.
At
first, you were contented with the fact that you are not bothered about hunting
for a job, getting up early and getting home late. The children keep you
bust-school runs, cooking, homework and general upkeep of the house
.
I
bet you can’t even remember your certificate or even think of getting a job
anyway soon!
Life
is good!
Then
one day, yo realize that many years have gone by, the reflection of the person
in the mirror is not you. Or is it YOU? You wonder and question yourself…
This
is because you are JUST realizing that you have been doing the same thing over
the years, and you do want a change!
You
have been out of the employment market for years that you virtually don’t know
anything about the current situation. You have never run any business in your
life, yet you want to get up and do something!
Does
this picture fit you?
You
pick up the issue with your husband and he does listen. Then he asks you “what
do you want to do?” You keep quiet and starts thinking on what to reply,
shockingly, you realized you have no answer!
You
tell him “You would tell him later”. This is when you realize again, you have a
problem…actually a crisis on your hands!
You
cannot simply make up your mind on one business that you want to embark on. You
start making enquiries, researches and getting g information from everywhere
possible. You just can’t put a finger on the exact thing to do.
Dear
husband may be kind enough to suggest one or two things but, you do know that
those things are not really for you.
What
do you do?
I
have been in that situation and I believe these tips would help housewives in
this situation to figure out exactly what works for them.
Time
How
much time do you really have and what type of business can you run from the
house or outside.
Satisfaction
Go
for what gives you fulfillment. This may be easy to figure out. It may also be
a soul-searching task. You must be able to ask yourself what hobbies give you
satisfaction that you can turn into business if you so pleases.
As
you know, what you have passion for do not really feel like work, because you
enjoy doing it. This may take just a few days to many years (as in my case).
You really need to be critical, patient and do not despair.
Competition
Whatever
you decide, be sure and start preparing for competition. You are not the only
person in that business. So you should be ready to give it your best.
Research
Research
and research and research. This is for you to be grounded and understand better
what you are going into.
Capital
You
may need little or huge capital, depending on your interest.
Hard work
You
must be prepared to work hard if you want to succeed. Be consistent.
God
With
all things are possible. Do not ignore this as your faith would keep going.
Involve Him at every stage.
Thanks.
