What do you enjoy doing? What are some of your natural talents or things that come easy to you?

Identify these skills then find someone who can benefit from your talents. Then...give away your time with no expectation of anything in return. Take satisfaction in the ability to learn and be involved.

I have met some of my most important mentors and business partners by practicing this philosophy...it works!
I enjoy basketball related topics. I have coached and played. I enjoy music but I don't play any instruments. I like being around friends when they make music and lending my 2 cents. I like mentoring kids. I have done jobs that involve helping kids for about 7 years.

I do basketball coaching on the side as a volunteer for 9-10 year olds at a local recreation center. I also do a tiny bit of one on one basketball coaching for a few kids for money. I have business cards promoting this service. I have not gained new customers yet and I have passed nearly all 500 cards out.

I also volunteer for a big brother type of an organization where I mentor a 9 year old.

I enjoy everything I do but I need money.
