From chapter 3 of ‘Work for Yourself and Reap the Rewards’.

Looking for business ideas;

Can your hobbies provide a starting point?

Did you excel in any subject at school?

Find a gap in an existing market?

Look for a product that requires updating?

There are more in the book, however, I see these as the most relevant for any ‘mumpreneur’. I would add to this that many successful mumpreneurs come up with new products from their experiences of bringing up their children, and this is the basis of their business. Take Carol Beck for example who has featured on Career Mom Radio, she came up with the idea behind babywear exchange.

Here are some of the other business ideas that are workable from home;

Web Design
Graphic Design
Hairdressing
Bookkeeping
Telesales
Consultancy
Child Minding
Chiropody
Homeopathy
Art
Crafts
Teaching
