Positive Skills
Do you underestimate your skills set?
Do you have a hobby or interest that could be turned into a viable business, either working from home or on a larger scale?
Do you know what your skills are?
Sometimes we can be so busy juggling our every day lives that we forget just how adaptable we are. Or we fail to continue using our existing skills, which may become a bit rusty or we don't recognise them as skills at all.
As example: I have been a registered Reiki and Indian Head Massage practitioner since 2001 and I have continued providing these services to local private clients.

I have creative ideas all the time which help clients, but being busy juggling my plates, it took me a bit of time to realise that I could integrate and package my Reiki knowledge skills with my other skills.
So a lesson to readers - sit down quietly, get comfy, paper and pen handy. Think about your skills, past and present, write them down.
Then think of the various ways your skills and knowledge can benefit other people and how you might be able to share that with others.
If you need any support throughout the process, drop me a line.

Rosette Gault is the foremost authority on paper clay, highly recommend this if you want to get into the full technical aspects of paper clay and how you can use paper clay for professional ceramics.
Andrew Martin: The Essential Guide to Mold Making & Slip Casting (Lark Ceramics Books)
Highly recommended for making molds - beyond the basics of mold making and slipcasting ceramics.
Steven Pressfield: The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
Excellent book, presented for easy reading and understanding of your resistance and how to overcome your personal blocks to improve your creativity and productivity. Sensibly written. I read the previous edition of a friends copy that did the 'rounds' - highly recommended.
