Consulting home based business opportunities can be broken down into two categories : the ones where you use your 'natural' skills such as planning, organizing, coordinating, and the ones where you can use professional skills that you acquired throughout the years. In the first category, you may want to think about opportunities like home or office organizer, parties or wedding planner, and project manager.
