We lost our jobs. Here’s my action plan – Hope it helps
A year ago my wife and I lost our jobs and business. Since then I watched our family and neighbors lose their jobs. It’ been so depressing. So I started sharing the ideas/concepts I explored before starting our consulting business. I consult and train real estate industry professionals on social media marketing. During this research phase I came up with the concept of Home Made Businesses.
These are businesses that initially your friends, family and immediate community help support. Your business will focus on providing personalize, custom services for a great value and based on friendships. Many in your personal community will want to help you get started and will refer their network of people to you. You build your business on that foundation and nurture those relationships. In these difficult times, we are more compassionate and called to help one other.
Meanwhile, you are networking with new people in your community and forging new relationships to grow your business.
Here are some ideas:
Home birthday party coordinator – come up with a menu of themes, crafts, games, activities and goody bags.
Birthday party face painter/activity provider – come up with a menu of services as a party entertainer.
Home chef – come up with dishes for busy families, people with special diets, people who need catering for special occasions, creative food themes, and consider providing clean up.
Custom Desert caterer – come up with a menu of specialize deserts for all types of special occasion and have strategies in place to generate repeat business.
