Sewing For Success: A Home Based Business Opportunity Made Just Right
Filed Under Starting A Business |
She felt that it would be hard to find a job that would allow for her to work from home. She wasn’t great with computers and she didn’t want to lick stamps or envelopes. She started to brainstorm what she was good at and what service she could provide for people. It hit her pretty quickly that she could start a sewing business from home and make some side money. Her mom was a seamstress and she had taught her daughter how to sew at a young age. Her mother had a talent that was evident in her daughter.
She spent many years saving her family money by putting together outfits and saving clothes that would have been lost due to being worn or torn. She would fix many of her husbands clothes and he would reward her with a kiss, something that was priceless to her. Now that was gone.
It was difficult for her to think about that, but now she knew that she had a responsibility to her two children and wanted to give them a great future. She began doing sewing for people in the neighborhood and at her local church. She soon had plenty of work to do. It was all word of mouth marketing, customer referrals. She told them that if they brought in another customer then she would give them a discount of some kind. This led to a host of clients for this mother of two. Now she had become overwhelmed with so many people pounding at her door.
She soon realized that she couldn’t do all of this work, but she didn’t want to lose any of this business. She started thinking, “I need to outsource!” So where was she going to get help and still make a profit. Two obvious thoughts came to mind in her two daughters. She persuaded them to help her and they agreed to do it. Soon the load grew faster and she needed more workers and she didn’t want to overwhelm her daughters during her teenage years. She wanted them to be happy. So she found other women in her church and neighborhood that were stay at home moms and started teaching them how to sew with such precision.
Now this lady has formed a company and has an very profitable LLC. She doesn’t need to work for anyone anymore. She runs a very tight ship and provides great value. Her daughters are happy and away at college (no debt) and she is able to live her life freely. She told me with a smile and a tear, “I know my husband would be proud of me. We always wanted something like this and I think somehow he had a hand in this.”
