Stumped for a good business idea? You know you want to work from home but you can't decide what to do. Maybe it's a time to examine your life and see what you're already good at.

Not every hobby has profit potential, but what about your words? When you get together with your pals over coffee or happy hour, what do you chat about? Do you chat about people's relationships and dating pitfalls? Do you argue over fantasty football leagues? Or do you just share your more recent haphazard parenting story?

Take a minute and really consider what comes out of your mouth to your friends. What is that one thing everyone asks your opinion on, even if it's: "does this color look good on me?"

There's a probably a business idea hidden in your everyday chat. In fact, chatting might just be your idea altogether. If you're good at dating advice, become a love-connection coach. If you know fantasy football like the contents of your snack drawer, consider doing an "insider's" podcast. If you've got more than your share of parenting wisdom; start a lecture series.

Whatever you know about, talk about, you're probably already consulting someone. You're just not getting paid for it yet. So take that gift of gab and turn it into a fabulous business idea! You know you're good at it, that people listen to what you say and you already enjoy it.
