I am so lost and confused I don't know where to go or what to do. I work for my dad he plans to retire in the next 3 years so yes already I am starting to worry.

I know for 100% fact that I do not want to work for anyone else I want to work for my self. I really want to find something that makes decent money and something that I can do from home. I would really perfer to...make a product or items VS offer a service but I am open to either end. I don't have to have to leave my home alot if kind of the point.

Please help me come up with some ideas I don't know what to do and I can't think of anything good to do or to start. I thought about a daycare but I am in an apartment and the boyfriend loves children we want 3 of our own someday but doesn't care for the idea of them in our home as a daycare. I can't say I blame him. I also started a dog treat business but that isnt going to make me a living to get buy on so please help!!! I need ideas and suggestions.

What kind of work do you do for your dad?
Why do you have to work?
What kind of work do you like to do?
How much time are you going to be able to work with 3 kids in future?

If you can answer these I can give you some ideas.

What about an online business such as:
selling items on ebay
selling info products
affiliate marketing
or online network marketing

Some of these would require you to leave your house on weekends or one evening a week or so to do some parties or presentations or to get items to sell, etc. but they all could be done mostly from home. I am in the candle business and do most of my business online. Info from the website in my sig file.

I thought about selling items on Ebay but I don't think it would be a big seller such as I don't know where to buy what to sell ect.

Can you please tell me what info products are, also what is affiliate marketing and online network marketing? I wanted to do the candle business but I didnt think that with all the store comp. that it would go anywhere either.

please help!!
dying early of stress

I am an office assistant and not very good at what I do hahaha.
Why do I have to work, because I am young and need to support my self and save for my future with my soon to be husband.
I like to be on the internet, use the computer, make crafts, work from hom, I am not going to have all 3 kids at the same time our plan is to space it out over years not boom boom boom.

I think you need to look at Vinny's post, which was the first response. He had some good points.
What interests you? What do you look forward to doing?
There is not a simple answer to this question. For you to enjoy and become really successful with any business, you have to have a passion for it.
I started my own retail store a few months ago. I specialize in remanufactured ink and toner cartridges for your printer. Now I'm not a treehugger, but I've always been interested in saving the enviroment and I've too have always wanted to start my own business.
So I searched and searched for a business that I could start that I found interesting.
Things are going pretty good for me, and there are a bunch of opportunities that have been coming up because of me wanting to learn more about the business and industry.
So do some homework, and think about what really interests you, then if you can narrow it down to a couple of things, try to think of how you can make a business of it.
That would be a good question to ask everyone for their opinion on. Example...I'm really interested in working with animals. That will give everyone here a starting point to suggest things to you.

I did look at his post and I did reply to it. My father is a commercial painter and I have no interest in taking over a construction type business. I like to bake, be crafty, be on the internet, also be at home. I like children and animals. I have looked at tons of craft business ideas and none of them seems like they would go very far. I am looking for ideas and suggestions from anyone and everyone

Again
I like crafts, baking, computers, chatting online, children, animals, I have good computer skills, I have office skills, customer service skills, money skills...

The problem is I can't find something that really interest me because everything i look at I think will not be that great of a business.

I thought about selling stuff online, but don't think that would make enough to make a living off of same with candles and gift baskets. I dont know what service I could offer that does not require me to leave me apartment. I don't want to have a daycare my place is to small.

Here's a few options:

At Home Call Center CSR-
Customer Service calls get routed to your house where you answer them and help the customer find the answer. You may need to learn software for purchase orders. Check out ACD Direct, Alpine Access, and Connect Plus LLC. Typical pay for an at-home Call Center Representative ranges from $7-$10 per hour. With incentive programs, $11-$20, and upwards, may be possible. A part-time agent may earn $5,000 to $20,000 per year, while full time agents are reported to be in the $25,000 to $40,000 per year range.

Customer Service Chat Agent-
Like the "At Home Call Center CSR" except you're operating over a chat service, rather than a phone call.

Webinar Software Training-
With this job, you can work from home (or on-location) and train client's and their employees on various types of software. There are almost no start up costs. All you really need is a remote desktop client. You could work for yourself too. I charge about $100/hr for Webinar Training. Once your name gets around, you can get a lot of clients.

Have you tried an at-home baking business? Caters usually don't do their own baking, so their hire outside companies to you. You could probably do that. The only issue would be getting your kitchen inspected with pets.

Also, look into doing research for starting businesses. Many need people who will look into information and dig up market studies. If you like being on the internet, that might be a good idea.

I hope this helps.

I don't think you understood what I was saying. I didn't mean you weren't paying attention to Vinny's post, what I was saying, was you need to find a niche in one of the areas that you're interested in. If you can become the expert that people go to, you can get all the business you want.
For example, I started my ink and toner business, now if people have questions about ink or toner for their printers, guess who they call.
Are there certain types of crafts you like to do? Say it's Knitting. Refine this again. What kind of knitting things can you specialize in? Say, table clothes.
I'm not saying this is what you should do, but you need to be very specific, and narrow down your niche.
Maybe checkout this website. It's called Thirty day challenge. It is a program that will help you find a business. I went through it and it definitely helped me. Here's the link. http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/challenge/45368

But I don't know what I am good at and I can't find anything that really interest me. I have looked for something all over that might spark my interest that I am not thinking about and can't find anything. Jewlery, candles, gift baskets...all running into a dead end..

In one of your previous posts you mention a dog treat business. Have you considered expanding that to add other pet items? Also is internet sales and wholesaling to pet shops, groomers and vet's offices a possibility? If you offer a niche product line, that can be operated from home online and by phone.
