Hi Melissa,
You have received great advise already. Home Businesses are for anybody. You just have to find the right one for you. I like to suggest that when searching for a home business, ask yourself if this is something that you yourself would use today, tomorrow and for years to come. This alone will be the key to keeping momentum in your business and developing long term success.
I personally enjoy consumable products because it is something we need and use regularly. Repeat business will come to you with consumables because people find what they like and stick with it.
Think about what you didn't like with previous businesses and seek something that will suit your character and lifestyle. You won't love every aspect of any home business; no such thing as perfect! But, find something that is more workable for you. I know for myself, I would not have been able to keep up with min quotas. I like being able to work at my own pace without the pressure of feeling I had to continue to make purchases to stay active.
Take your time and ask LOTS of questions. Good luck with your search and do keep us posted.
