When I 'retired' to stay home with my young family 17 years ago, I wondered if it was possible to generate an income, in something I loved, whilst being at home. On reflection, it's been quite a journey:
I wrote six chapters of a novel, sent it to one publisher, got a 4 book contract - which lead to
First novel optioned for a movie - drew attention from a TV network to write for their soap opera - which lead to
Discovered eating quality chocolate helped me write - started making chocolates for friends and family - which lead to
Set up artisan chocolate company from garage, first order came from multinational grocery chain - which lead to
Invitations to teach/mentor in creative skills and business start-ups - which lead to
Going back to college to train to be an English teacher - which lead to? Who knows what's next.
I would love to hear from fellow Mustachians who are about to begin, or who have already started, working on exciting projects at home.
