Housewife Solution by Workplace Sanity

Workplace Sanity, I recently got married and my husband works at a national company. My problem is that i am not very well educated (I have only don my matric), but i wish to contribute to our household income by working.
Despite some deep thinking i am unable to find anything i can do. Please suggest how i can find work and utilise my potential.  Eager-to-Work Housewife.

Dear Eager-to-work Housewife,
Everyone is a hidden EXPERT just waiting to be unleashed. It used to be that to be an ‘expert’ you needed a diploma on the wall to vouch for your ability and credibility. Today, however, expertise is measured through tangible, visible results. People believe and trust your expertise in what they see you already doing, like creating a showcase room , cooking delicious, healthy meals in less than 30 minutes , baking mouth-watering cakes and cookies, accessorising your outfits accessorising your outfits impeccably, growing organic vegetables in your own garden, or even raising well – mannered , happy healthy kids.

Now i apologise to my readers for giving ‘housewife-specific’ examples, but the same concept can be applied to men as well. The point is, what to do so well that people often comment on it and ask you, ”Wow, that’s amazing , how do you do it?” If you often hear this question , then you are an expert! You have some thing that people will be happy to PAY you to either teach them to do, or have you do it for them.

My philosophy is very simple: You DON’T need an MBA , and you DON’T need a lot of money to start up a business that earns you incredible income; all you need is to recognise your natural expertise and translate it into revenue. This is exactly what i did to build a thriving business that has been running now for almost 13 years.
Now , the how-to roadmap for turning your expertise into revenue is the topic for another column!
All the success! Workplace Sanity
