    I have many creative skills but how in the world can I make money from them? In the real world? Am I supposed to just quit my job to bake cookies? My family likes them but is this a responsible option. Farnsooh, what do you think?

    This is correct advice. I have a friend who cooked great dinner parties at home. She submitted herself to a major food magazine and won a contest on Home Chefs. Now she has a thriving business and caters events with major, major chefs. The writer is onto something here that everyone should read. Frankly, I don’t know if I have the guts to do it, but hearing stories like this one are a good push.
