Working for small companies required me to do many different jobs. As a result, I've done much, but mastered little! Management is what I do best, but it's a challenge to find something that will let me work from home part time.
I've thought about small business consulting, but as a former business owner I'm painfully aware of the fact that there are lots of people offering that service. Our phone used to ring off the hook from people wanting to show me how to cut costs, increase sales, etc. Business owners get protective of their time and just refuse to talk to people selling stuff... even if it's something that they might need!
If there's anything that I've done a lot of, it's buy and sell cars. I used to have a friend who worked for an auto brokering service. They located used cars, but most of their business was negotiating new car deals for people who hated the car buying process or just didn't have the time.
Yes, Ebay is a great marketplace if you have the right sort of product. I've scrounged up many hundreds of dollars by cleaning out our closets and selling stuff that might otherwise go to Goodwill. My wife recently warned me that I'm not allowed to sell everything we own!
