Ten things women can do to boost her home

                                                Image result for married working woman 
Not long ago, the marriage of some close friends—I'll call them Daniel and Ebele—suddenly imploded. We did everything we could to stand with them in their crisis to speak hope for their future together. Unfortunately, their marriage didn't survive.
I'll never forget a conversation I had with Ebele in Aba,in Abia State one day.  Through her crying, she said, "He worked so hard for a year to take us on that amazing trip to Abuja. But all I really wanted was for him to put his arm around me at church!"
Here is my own view on how married women can be useful to themselves and their home:
 
Pick up a job, earn an income and support her husband.

2.       Those who do not have skill should develop skills to make them employable.
3.       Save little by little to gather the capital that will be enough to start her choice business
a.       Food Items: food is a basic necessity. What you eat is somebody’s business. One can look at consumables that are in high demand on a daily basis to start with at least people eat once a day.
b.      Fashion Services: One can learn tailoring and the business side of it. You can sell accessories that come with sewing cloths I.e. shoes, bags, belts Etc. simply say what you spend money buying can also be a money generating idea for you.
c.       Laundry/Cleaning Services: Women are excellent home keepers. One can offer services for people who hardly have time but can afford paying someone to do it.
d.      Educational Services: As population increases the need for education grows. One can start a home lesson for students. One can also make supplies of stationeries, school toiletries, school uniforms, etc.
e.      Livestock Farming: Poultry farming for its meat or eggs can also be an additional source of income too.
f.        Daily home/ house needs: Items that we use when we wake up til we go to bed can be a source of income too. Toothpaste, brush, roll on, towel Etc.
g.       Confectionaries and Event Management: Women are wired to do many things. You can use your skill to help plan and manage people’s occasion. There is a cake for every occasion. Food that taste very sweet like cakes, candies, sweetmeats are favorites for women.
h.      Distributorship/Dealership: Dealership of popular products/brands high in demand is a good choice.
i.        Business Support Services i.e. photocopy, scanning, faxing, internet services etc.
j.        Salon/Beauty Products or Services: Looking good is good business. Learn it and turn it into business.
4.       She should exploit her talent E.g. if she is able to write a book, or she can plait hair, she should do it.
5.       She can also go into petty trading.
6.       Encourage her husband to diversify his income.
7.       She can prayerfully go into partnership with other women who have the women to sponsor the business.
8.       She should help her children to exploit their talent.
9.       She must be a titer.
10.    Pray for financial help and breakthrough.
11.    Join a co-operative.
12.    Grow your own food.
