Draw Upon Your Talents…Then Research Your Markets
When I wrote the post, Draw Upon Your Talents for Your Boomer Business, Laurie Neumann, of Christian Home Business Connection, commented:
I think it is important to think about your interests and what kind of business could be started from there. It’s also important to research and see if there is a market out there looking for what you want to offer and willing to pay for it.
It can be great fun (and challenging!) to start your own home based business. By choosing something that really fits you, you can have a great business for years to come.
Laurie is correct. In addition to having talent, you need to have a market and become proficient on promoting your products/services and yourself. So before you invest too much into developing your small or home business, check to see if there is a viable market out there for what you have to offer. Or become creative in marketing your products. Find a need for them, then capitalize upon it.

Many of us have developed the talent and skills developed over the years from our careers/jobs. What about exploring our passions? what we’re interested in doing? what we always wanted to do but weren’t able to do because we had to earn a living to raise a family?
