Living in a retirement community، it is easy to get bored. Dont get me wrong – there are plenty of nice people there with great stories about their lives. Still، everything is in the past. You get a little bored with it every now and then، wanting to see something happen right here and now. I had been learning how to make gift baskets in my spare time. Making gift baskets was easy. All you needed to do was get some gift wrapping paper، a few odds and ends، maybe some fruit or some meat، and put it together.
I started off making get well baskets for my nephew who was very sick at the time، but when he got better I still had the bug. Then I realized that I could make some money off of it. Apparently، no one knows how to make gift baskets. I am sure that they would understand how to if they really tried، but everything is so specialized in our society that people are often helpless in the face of a new task. Making gift basket is something that never even occurs to them – they just simply buy one at the store and send it off. That is when I saw my niche and my opportunity to make a little bit of money off my hobby.
I was an entrepreneur in my professional life، and although I never made a fortune، I made a pretty good living starting from nothing. I didnt really know any more about how to make gift baskets than any decent homemaker one، but it didnt matter – I was a charming senior citizen with a loving، if somewhat elderly touch. I could put the love and authenticity into gifts for f my clients when they didnt have the time to put it there themselves.
At first، I didnt make any money off of my knowledge of how to make gift baskets. I had only been doing it for a little bit of time، and each gift basket took me a while. Soon، however، I got the process down and was turning them out at a rate of about five an hour. At that point، I turned how to make a gift basket into how to make a fortune. Now I dont want to brag، but I am more well-off than at any other point in my life. While most of my friends are living on a fixed income، I can take trips whenever I want to. It is all because I know how to make gift baskets and because I set a little bit of money aside early on.
