Hey, frens. I was talking to a relative I hadn't seen in a very long time. She is now retired but having worked mostly in sales doesn't have a good retirement scheme. She wants to continue working, but needs to do so from home and asked if I knew of anything she could do. I really don't. Do any of you have any suggestions for something a nice, reliable lady could do? She didn't finish college so she doesn't have a degree, but she's sharp and gets things done. With so many employers needing dependable help, surely there must be something for her. Please post any ideas you have. Thanks!

Build furniture, sell her art, accounting, start and monetize a podcast, build computers, start a day care….. the point being there are tons of ways to make money at home. It starts with her taking stock of her talents, skills and desires. Work from there.
Thanks. I think that might be the hard part for her. She's a very sweet and capable lady, but sort of old school and not very self confident. She DOES have some amazing skills though. (She's a fantastic cook, I remember, but I don't know if that is something she would want to do as work.) Anyway, thanks. You're right. She needs to identify her best assets. Appreciate it.

I thought of that one right away because she loves little kids, but I think she might be too old at this point. Still, it's something to consider if nothing else works out. She would be great if she could do it.
