Living in a retirement community, it is easy to get

Living in a retirement community, it is easy to get bored. Don't 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 didn't really know any more about how to make gift baskets than any decent homemaker one, but it didn't 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 didn't have the time to put it there themselves.

At first, I didn't 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 don't 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.
