But I'm going to remember to check the passover section this week!

A lot of other people, who might have played with the idea of having their own businesses are just overwhelmed by the technology and so on..forgetting that a lot of people have a lot of businesses in this world that are not high tech, that are not requiring a change in education or a huge capital investment and so on. Sometimes, all you need to be able to do, in order to have a business, is to be able to come up with some alternative (such as the kids' clothing) or a small incremental improvement, or..be able to fix something. That's a business. I think that one of the mistakes people make is that people such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are held up as being ‘entrepreneurs’.

Having a 9 year old who loves bright colors like a gypsy, I am always making colorful bright clothing, and through my little walking billboard, have a built a small home based business as a seamstress. I do kids clothes, prom dresses, and am in the midst of creating a corseted wedding dress for a woman who is having a midnight Hallowe'en wedding. It all started a couple years ago, because Hubby and I disliked the prosti-tot look that was happening in kids clothes at the local mega-mart, and I began to utilize my (then rusty) sewing skills. As an aside, I love those pants!! Opportunites are what we make of them…
