Mother of two-year-old Arseniy and eight-month-old Stephanie.fashion boutique

Before Decree: Broker in a company wholesale oil products.

About the case: When my son was three months old, I realized that I was bored being only a mother and a wife, I wanted development, my own realization. But I was horrified by the thought of going to the office on a 5/2 schedule: not to see my children, for the sake of fulfilling other people's ambitions. It so happened that my mother and sister flew to Beijing, where they found fabrics of amazing beauty, silk of different textures and types, of amazing quality and at a very attractive price. My mother is an engineer-technologist of garments, she has been creating and sewing outfits for us all her adult life, but she never knew how to realize her talent and potential. My sister and I took up the idea of creating dresses from natural silk and promoting them on the Internet. Recently released the fifth collection.

About "victims": I work 3-5 hours a day, recently I leave for an additional full day once a week. I have to sacrifice time for myself: now I miss reading books, listening to music and watching movies, playing sports and even meeting friends. Now either children and family, or my business.

About difficulties: In reality, everything turned out to be completely different from what it seemed, from production to the launch of a new product on the market. Lacked knowledge, experience, budget, connections. Now, with the advent of the second child, the growing up of children and the expansion of the business, there is simply sorely not enough time.

Advice for doubters: If you're not sure, it means you're not ready yet. In your business, you need to think a lot and work even more. And there is absolutely no one to blame for failures. I would recommend initially doing only what you really like or what you have experience, skill, knowledge in; or there is a partner - a true professional in his field; or have access (as well as time and desire) to a large amount of information on the topic. It is also worth choosing a type of activity that, even in the most pessimistic scenario, will bring you new knowledge, or material things, or acquaintances, and, of course, experience. You won't lose anything but time. These points will help lower the bar of importance, worry less about “what if it doesn’t work out?”, And focus more on a positive result. My motivation: "If not now, when?" I end up building a legacy for my kids instead of going to work for a paycheck – it helps a lot.

Before Decree: marketer in a large company

About the case: The topic of ecology and naturalness is very close to our family, from the very beginning I was puzzled by the choice of the very best toys for the only child at that time, ordered individually from the masters, brought from abroad ... In general, I was a real fanatic. And gradually the thought came that I was probably not the only one, and it would help someone a lot if such toys were all in one place. The store has been in business for more than 4 years, during this time we have grown, and many people already know us. The site, logos, slogans I made and invented myself, wrote articles for promotion, filled, changed, until I completely liked the result. Therefore, from the point of view of "advancement" in technical terms, they are not the most advanced, but in terms of invested warmth and real emotions, I think they were quite successful. With the birth of our third daughter, we moved out of town, and the idea came up to create our own family club for mothers and children.

About "victims": I have 4 working days a week, of which 4-5 hours are spent on work. Sacrifice at first had to sleep at night. But I'm an owl, so I worked even more efficiently. There are also periods when it seems that you do not have time to do anything, but this quickly passes.

About difficulties: Organize everything. It would be convenient and understandable to set it up exactly so that you like it. The second difficulty is that in your business you are, as they say, both a Swiss and a reaper. It's hard for those who leave big companies where there is an expert for every question. And, of course, the scale itself can be discouraging at first: there is a lot of work, but the result is small. But - here patience and faith that people need your business are important.

Advice for doubters: Try! If you always return to the same thoughts with your thoughts, you feel that it is yours, you want to start, but you are afraid, start bolder. Better to do and regret than not to do and regret.

Mother of two-year-old Saveliy. Unsweetened desserts

Before Decree: manager of logistick.

About the case: The environment pushed me to do something. A friend came up with small business, I also wanted something interesting and unbanal. Previously, there have already been attempts to deal with both sweet cakes and portioned desserts. But there is a lot of competition in this niche. So I came up with my savory project. And yes, moral satisfaction from what you love is, of course, good, but money is not superfluous. Therefore, after the decree, I still plan to return to my main job.

About "victims": I find it difficult to answer. If there are orders (and there are almost always), then it takes time both to purchase products and to make a cake. I try to do my best when my son is sleeping. Plus - communication with customers also takes a lot of time.

About difficulties: If the son is not in the mood, then there is no question of any of his affairs. Everything has to be postponed for the night. And I also want to sleep. So there is only one problem - lack of time!

Advice for doubters: It is better to regret what has been done than what has not been done. Therefore, if there is a desire to do something, you must take it and do it without putting it off in a distant box.

Mother of five-year-old Kira and three-year-old Sasha. Newborn Photographer

Before Decree: sales manager in a consulting agency.

About the case: I gave birth to my second child, not having time to get out of the first decree, it turned out that I spent a total of 5 years at home. It's very difficult long time stay idle. Therefore, when the youngest became at least a little more independent, I began to look for options for part-time work at home. And after several unsuccessful undertakings, she settled on retouching photographs. And a year later I realized that I myself wanted to shoot, I took my husband’s old camera, advertised on the Internet - and away we go.

About "victims": Nothing has to be sacrificed, thank God, rather the opposite. I only do photo shoots on weekends and my husband always assists me. Since I am free on weekdays, I bring up the children myself, I don’t take them to kindergarten, which would be impossible with a 5/2 schedule.

About difficulties: Any undertaking needs money, I had to borrow it. It's always a risk. But, as they say, who does not risk - he does not drink. My business paid off within a month.

Advice for doubters: Everything is real! If you want to work for yourself, just work! You can always go back to the office anyway, but I don't think you'd want to.

Mother of three-year-old Julian and one-and-a-half-year-old Valentin.English club for mothers with children

Before Decree: Several activities - from an accountant to a corporate client manager.

About the case: It all started with a love for language and children. Being a native speaker, she instilled it in the eldest from birth. Later I realized that it is simply necessary: to instill a second language before the age of three for better pronunciation and easy learning at a later age. I attended trainings and read the necessary literature. I decided to create a club for young mothers and teach them how to introduce the language to babies.

About "victims": At the time of my work in the club, a nanny takes care of the children, so a couple of hours of being away from home is not at all scary, especially since the child learns something from the nannies.

About difficulties: Preparing for classes takes time. I do it after I put the kids to bed. It's a little hard, given the fact that the youngest is always in his arms, and he can't rest during the day.

Advice for doubters: If there is an interesting idea and a strong desire, then all the stars will converge, and you will have the opportunity to realize this idea. The main thing is to take a step forward and think only positively! You will immediately break out of your home routine, which will bring you a lot of new emotions.

Stories are stories, but when it comes to my own life, questions arise: where to start, where to go, what can I do? I suggest reading this one. I really liked her detailed description of each possible income option for mom on maternity leave, some of which are through personal experience author. And here you will find a few non-standard approaches to a business on maternity leave, which, although they require some investment, theoretically should pay for themselves. I do not know, I have not tried it. But some ideas seem quite reasonable and interesting. Moreover, I met their implementation in life. I recommend!

Lack of money on maternity leave - do you know this? Our heroines decided to replenish family budget, earning not only on sales - and all this with small children. Read and get inspired!

Marina Medvedeva, Novoshakhtinsk, mother of Yulia (1 year 10 months), organizer of joint purchases of children's and adult clothing

I heard a lot about joint purchases and finally decided to try it: it seems that there is time, and you still don’t invest any of your own funds. For promotion, I sat at night on VKontakte: added new friends, wrote posts, arranged promotions and sweepstakes - in general, I did everything to flash in the social network feed as often as possible.

In the late evening I sit until one or two in the morning, and when I am with a child, if possible, I answer people from the phone. My whole day looks like running to the computer, then to the child, then to the stove, because at home I am alone, without help. When I receive the goods, it’s even more fun: I drag a child on my hip, a stroller on my shoulder and heavy bags to the 4th floor.

One of the disadvantages of such work is stupid questions like “How much?” under the photo of the product with the price. It’s hard to distribute goods: it’s convenient for people during the day, and my daughter is sleeping just at that time. I haven’t thought about the prospects yet, my husband is generally against my working.

Victoria Khubuluri, Vologda, Sofia's mother (1 year 10 months), sells copies of luxury cosmetics and perfumes, clothes

I got bored at home: diapers, laundry, cooking - Groundhog Day. At first I sold cosmetics and perfumes online, and then I thought about how to increase my earnings. I began to sort through the options: what do all people have and what do they need? So I decided to sell children's autumn, winter suits, overalls.

I chose a supplier based on reviews and ordered a jumpsuit first for my child - to check the quality, and then put it in VKontakte groups and on my page, invited friends. I went to children's groups and looked who left comments, likes under the photo of outerwear. Invited them as friends or offered to purchase goods at a discount.

From expenses - service fee transport company and mail. About 6,000 rubles came out clean per month. for perfume and about 9000 r. for children's costumes.

The work took all the time: even at 5 in the morning I woke up and looked for clients or sales from suppliers ... My child is calm, sleeps for 2 hours during the day, and during the day there is someone to look after him. I didn’t feel guilty before my daughter, because all the earnings went to her clothes, food, diapers.

Anna Truntaeva, Orenburg, mother of Semyon (1 year 3 months old), organizes joint purchases of clothes and shoes

I work for a short time, only a month and a half, and during this time I earned about 3000 rubles. The idea to engage in sales came to mind when in a group of mothers one girl sold 200 rubles each. supplier base. I decided, "Okay, I'll try."

Colleagues at work began to ask where I bought this. So I started making custom jewelry. The growth of the dollar and my love for knitting “helped” change the direction of development. Every day I have to solve several problems: either the car breaks down, or the employee gets sick, or the landlord suddenly decides to raise the price. But it happens in any business, and mine is a favorite thing, and this is the most important thing.

Thanks to the difficulties, I learned how to effectively allocate my time.

When Sasha was born, my business passed the stage of formation, and in many ways it helped me to develop the project without actively interfering in the process. In addition, the acquired management skills help me a lot in life. I try to give any free minute from work to my family, we have “holy” inviolable days - Sunday and Monday, when we try to spend time together, go somewhere, postpone all business, phone calls. On weekdays, until 10-11 o'clock, I am only a mother. The son wakes up, we do exercises, have breakfast, take a shower, I collect him for a walk. Then he sees me at 5-6 o'clock when I return home. I try to walk with him in the evening myself - both of us need this to better understand each other, to switch from the "work" and "management" modes to the "home" and "care" modes. I get up very early and before the child wakes up I have time to do all the household chores, as well as answer mail, order yarn.

The secret is to use every free minute.

A lot can be done on the way - to talk, discuss, agree. I always write plans, and be sure to set deadlines for completing tasks not only for my employees, but also for myself. In general, of course, children are very disciplined, so do not be afraid to take risks and start your own business - you set an example for your children. It is very important for them that they can be equal to their parents.

New success stories

They pulled out a lucky ticket - they became mothers and found something to their liking. These are 3 more stories of young mothers about their search for themselves and changing their profession.

Do you know why it is so important to do your job with love? Not only to have a good result, and people always evaluate the work by the result, but also to enjoy the process itself. Even from what is called the rude word "routine". In order not to be afraid of difficulties, and when they meet on the way, perceive them as an opportunity for something new, and just to have a sparkle in the eyes.

1500 start-up young businessmen set the goal of becoming millionaires. Approximately 1,250 of them decided to do any job that would bring a lot of money, and 250 people decided to do only what they love. The result exceeded all expectations. At the end of this experiment, out of 1500 people, 101 participants in the experiment became a millionaire. Moreover, 100 of them were representatives of the second group of 250 people, who from the first days were engaged in their favorite business with full confidence that it is on this that they will make their capital. And only one person became a millionaire out of a group of 1250 people who were engaged in work to which they did not lay their soul.

Daria Ivanchenko, 35 years old. Children: Katya, 15 years old, Tonya, 8 years old and Fedor, 2 years old.

Prior to maternity leave, she worked as a speech therapist. Now - an entrepreneur, head of the children's club "Pchelka".

For me, my main job is what allowed me to combine the knowledge gained at the Medical Academy and my desire to travel. It was in the clinical research department that I received good experience as a professional, I was able to visit a huge number of cities in our country, met many interesting people. And I just enjoyed understanding that with your work, you really help people.

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved to arrange theme parties, unusual birthdays. And after organizing my own wedding, it was as if I “broke through”.

After some time, acquaintances asked to hold their wedding, then another, and so the orders went. It turned out that before the decree I already had a certain customer base. When the baby was 4 months old, I again plunged into the wedding world. Thanks to the support and help of my husband, parents and sister, I managed. I remember how the parents brought the baby to the restaurant and I fed her during the dance break. It was very important for me to keep breastfeeding. And it is also very valuable that my work is mainly on weekends, so I spend almost all the time with my child.

Soon my hobby began to generate income that exceeded the salary at my main job. Of course, now it's not just a hobby, it's my life's work.

With the advent of Arisha, I began to develop the direction of children's parties. From the level - 1 holiday in 2 months, went to the level of 2-3 holidays per week. I ordered new costumes, introduced the show into the program soap bubbles, chemical show. All new props are tested by my daughter, with her I come up with new games. In the future, I want to open my own studio for children's parties in the house that we are currently actively building in Domodedovo, and continue to deal with weddings and outdoor ceremonies.

It will be necessary to start again almost from scratch, but this does not scare me, but only sets me up for new achievements.

I want to advise all future mothers,to prepare the start for your favorite business before the decree. There is at least 6 months to sit down and think about what you can do and what you would like to do. Maternity leave is a great time to get trained. After all, the most important thing for a child is happy mom. And when a mother has a beloved baby, a family and a favorite thing - she is really happy!

It happens that mom does not have a maternity leave at all. She refuses this vacation deliberately and not to the detriment of her health and the health of the baby. Ask how? Just about the story of another of our heroines.

Oksana, 31 years old. Children: son Andrei, 6 years old and daughter Arina, 1 year old.

Works for a large consulting company.

I was lucky, I quickly decided on future profession and this choice lived up to expectations! There is no monotony in what I do: standard procedures are combined with a creative approach to the implementation of tasks. There was always a lot of work and very often an irregular schedule - all this could negatively affect my personal life. But my example can refute such an idea.

From the very beginning, it is important to learn how to properly plan and prioritize both at work and at home.

So, being pregnant for the first time, I continued my professional activities until the 8th month, and then I went to study leave to prepare for qualification exams. I read textbooks and solved problems while listening to beautiful music in between or walking in the park near my house. When Andryusha was born, I went on parental leave and spent 8 months at home.

I devoted myself completely to caring for the child, because I, like many new mothers, wanted to give my baby the best and do everything “as expected”.

However, time passed and I began to understand that I lacked my professional tasks, to which I was already so accustomed. Household issues occupied all my time at home, but I wanted an intellectual warm-up, communication with people. Therefore, as soon as I realized that everything was fine at home and my baby could spend the day with his grandmother quite calmly, I went to work.

While waiting for the appearance of my daughter, I did not go on maternity leave at all, as it became possible to work remotely. The first experience of motherhood helped me quickly orient myself and adapt to a comfortable environment for the second time. For the first three months after giving birth, I worked from home. Then 2-3 times a week I came to the office for meetings. Starting from 5 months, I went out 2-3 days a week, the rest of the days I worked from home. And from 7 months - full work week in the office. I was tired, as it is difficult to physically comply with such a dynamic schedule, but morally I felt complete satisfaction and comfort.

I am sure that there are different points of view, and someone will say that it is so wrong, but my work and home are combined very harmoniously. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that mom helps with the children, plus we found ways to reduce the time for everyday life in order to spend more time together.

We don't have a nanny, but we have a house helper. Children have a schedule - what they do at home, where they go for entertainment, what they study and where.

While I work, they are also busy, just in their own way. But in the evenings and weekends, we enjoy spending time together: we share our impressions of the day, we play, we do home exercises if they were asked, we read, we bathe the children and put them to bed. We care about each other, we have friendly and trusting relations with our children.

For myself, I made a rule that it is very important to understand and know yourself as a person in order to be able to balance between home and work, family and friends, hobbies and professional activity. It is important to find harmony in order to do everything and be happy with your family.

These stories are just a small example of the transformation of a woman on maternity leave. But all these stories have one leitmotif - learn to listen and hear yourself to become happy. The marketer decided to become a confectioner, became interested in beading or computer design, or maybe remembered languages and began to translate, or helps in family business, from a journalist turned into a clerk or a novice accountant? Please, it's important that you like it! There is not enough knowledge, you can take free courses for moms. Most importantly, don't be afraid to start. After all, the one who does what he loves is a priori stronger than those who have been doing this for a long time, but without much love for him.

In this material:

Business on maternity leave is a great opportunity for women not only to earn extra money, but also to find themselves in new sphere, form your own idea of \u200b\u200bearnings, and maybe completely get carried away with something new for the rest of your life. In fact, almost any business idea can be realized from the comfort of your own home. The same can be attributed to the situation of young mothers who have to stay within four walls all day and raise a baby.

What do you need to do to start your own business? maternity leave? First of all, a woman should focus on the education she received before pregnancy. AT modern world information and technology almost all specialties can work remotely. If in this area it is not possible to find the necessary “loophole” for creating home business or you simply don’t feel like it, then it’s very easy to find a suitable and interesting idea. The 5 directions for business ideas presented below will help you determine the scope for your own business. This is not just a job, but really creating your own business.

home production

Mothers on maternity leave often start creating and crafting something for their baby, and sometimes just out of boredom. For those who love to knit, sew, invent and implement various crafts, no the best option for business than home production of unique things.

Most promising business ideas in this case are:

tailoring: unique design, altering and repairing clothes;
production of toys from fabric, wood, plastic;
knitting clothes that meet fashion trends;
unique handmade made of leather, fabric, iron, unusual materials;
soap making;
scrapbooking - the creation of paper design crafts: photo albums, postcards, notebooks, notepads.

If a young mother is drawn to one of these handicraft arts, then this idea should be chosen to create a business. However, keep in mind that any type of home production will require a small investment in materials and PR promotion.

Initial investment - from 2-5 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is the uniqueness of the product.

This direction can be used by mothers on maternity leave who have experience in buying goods on foreign sites or have good connections with suppliers of any products. Moreover, this option is suitable for those who are engaged in home production, as a further development of their business. What can be done:

create your own online store to sell goods from another country or from the author of any unique products;
engage in wholesale purchases and sales of goods from suppliers from other countries, that is, their acquaintances living elsewhere.

These are the most promising areas that moms can use to create their own business. Well suited for those who are directly familiar with online commerce, as here you will have to deal with marketing, programming and logistics at the same time. But if there is a great interest in this, then the work will go easily and quickly.

Initial investment - from 10 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is the high quality of goods.

"Artistic" business

Photographers, illustrators and designers can easily create own business as part of the realization of their own talent.

This is not about working in these professions, it is talking about starting a business based on your abilities. Business ideas that will help develop in entrepreneurship:

production of paintings on the wall;
HD photo for wallpaper and blinds;
Wall stickers;
drawing comics, illustrated books, as well as photo books;
painting on furniture;
providing design services.

All these products and services are quite relevant today and enjoy a certain popularity among the population. Some ideas involve home production of things, but this is not necessary. It is enough to find a person who will supply the necessary material, for example, furniture for painting or, after processing photos, print sheets for blinds. Thus, the business will be built on partnerships.

Initial investment - from 20 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is a professional art style.

For those who do not like or do not know how to make and create something, but know a lot about certain aspects of life, professions, specialties, and the provision of services, coaching is well suited. In other words, you can choose learning if there is a lot of useful information about something.

Online coaching is about enlightening someone about something. Moms on maternity leave can educate and share experiences about the professions they worked in before pregnancy, or about how to become successful in life. Here, women are not limited by anything, they can choose up to the topic of breastfeeding, if they have a lot of secrets in store:

webinars - conducting online consultations from home to thousands and millions of listeners;
tutoring - if it is possible to go to the house of their "students";
trainings - the same option as with tutoring, but designed for a large audience.

To start holding webinars, mothers must participate in them themselves, watch the video. This will allow you to understand the essence of the procedure itself, see the different reactions of the audience and, possibly, determine for yourself some “chips” for the future. After that, you should pay attention to the audience, that is, begin to select it. To do this, it is enough to promote a thematic page on social networks, after which, on the basis of the received customer base, conduct personal or general consultations.

The main key to success is the topic of coaching, which interests many.

writing business

For those mothers who love to write, translate, invent stories and do everything related to “text” activities, it is not difficult to find their own vein for a future business. There are no limits to finding unique business ideas. Here are just a few business ideas:

providing proofreading services to publishing houses, computer game developers, writers, etc.;
maintaining a blog dedicated to your favorite topic;
creating an online magazine is almost similar to a blog, but here you will have to cover not one topic, but many, and find a team to permanent job over the project;
writing books is also a kind of business;
develop scenarios for games, holidays, events and sell them.

There are over 30 different professions for writers, and half of them can be used to create a unique business idea. Before starting your own business, you need to develop a style, make it unique and easy to read - this always attracts many readers. To promote and open a “writing” business, you will need, at a minimum, to create your own business card website.

Initial investment - from 2 thousand rubles.

The main key to success is an easy style and uniqueness of the theme.

These are just some of the directions in which young mothers can go to create their own business.

To decide on an idea, first of all, you should start from your own knowledge and capabilities.

For further work, it is better to involve your relatives, acquaintances and friends, since creating a new business on your own is very laborious process, not always suitable for women on maternity leave.

Then the idea of transforming your favorite hobby into earnings comes. First it's random money, the way to get additional income. But with a systematic approach, a favorite hobby for a mother on maternity leave turns into the main income.

Idea number 1: Children's educational games

The child needs a developing environment. useful way take small hands - a pillow, beads on a cord, plastic bottle with cereals, an apron with multi-colored pockets. Craftswomen make educational aids at home - first for their beloved children, then for sale. It is not difficult to make them, and the material will not ruin the family budget. Fabrics, beads, buttons are purchased in thematic sets or separately (cheaper in bulk).

#2: Soft toys

Some mothers on maternity leave are engaged in sewing soft toys. Some people like to make complex-shaped pillows, others like to fill homemade ones. fairytale heroes fragrant mixtures of medicinal herbs (this will calm the child, help to fall asleep). Still others are fond of sewing finger characters for the puppet theater (a very popular segment of the market, practically undeveloped).

Several moms heard about the idea of combining soft toys with developmental techniques and got to work. Instead of cotton wool and shreds, the fabric shell is filled with cones, chestnuts, nuts, light balls of various sizes. Bright homemade toy pleases the baby and develops fine motor skills.

It is interesting! An original way to make money came up with Wendy Cao, the mother of a little boy from Vancouver. She began to sew toys according to the drawings of her beloved son, trying to make her product look like a character invented by a child. This idea was appreciated by several mothers - now there is a studio in Canada that sews children's toys according to children's sketches - Child's Own Studio.

No. 3: Knitted things for babies

It would seem that the market is filled with children's goods. But finding a soft vest, socks made of natural fluff or a dress crocheted from cotton threads at an affordable price is not easy. Here is another way to turn your favorite hobby into money. Fashionable sets for children (beret + scarf; elegant dress + shawl), fishnet tights, vests are always in demand among grandmothers and mothers. You can find patterns in magazines, and look for ideas from designers at children's fashion shows.

It is important! Colored knitted laptop cases are in trend. Thousands of women are dissatisfied with standard black leather cases and are ready to buy openwork handbags for 25-30 dollars.

Not all mothers know how to sew and knit, but there are those who are fond of a different kind of hobby - scrapbooking, decoupage, quilling. The emergence of new art materials, finished paper products for creativity, quick-drying acrylic paints- inspired women on maternity leave to create original interior items, caskets, postcards, notebooks, family albums.

When the style of the master and the artistic handwriting begin to be recognized, the hobby turns into the category of earnings. It is important to present handmade products in an attractive aspect and festive design - the joy of buying will increase customer loyalty.

#5: Eco-friendly soap and laundry detergent

Mom's priorities are changing on maternity leave. In matters of nutrition, the family switches to ecologically clean products, the woman also thinks about how to reduce the presence of harmful "chemistry" in detergent accessories. A profitable way to earn money can be natural soap that does not contain harmful substances. Making it at home is easy, and the price is homemade soap with peach or olive oil 2-3 times the cost of the ingredients.

Important to remember! The buyer will be more interested in your work if you offer an additional bonus. Handmade soap looks good in original packaging. If you buy a batch of holiday bags and colored ribbons, the client will not have to look for a wrapper for a bar of soap - he will be grateful for the care of him, the time saved and he will place another order.

No. 6: Beading

Beads are an inexpensive material, and products made from it are elegant, festive, original. They are in demand for an affordable price and creativity. Beaded flowers, trees and animals are popular, it is also customary to decorate bags, clothes, cases with them.

20 bags of beads - 250 rubles. (cheaper to buy in bulk);
wire - 10 r.
varnish, glue, paints - 100 r.
gypsum - 10 r.

It is interesting! On beaded jewelry, my mother on maternity leave earns 12-15 thousand rubles a month.

No. 7: Original bags

According to experts, the women's bag market ranks second in Russia in terms of sales. A lady may have one fur coat, but several bags. A woman buys a handbag specifically for a festive event, for a certain outfit, or because it is unusual, different from the range in the nearest market. At the same time, not every mother on maternity leave can afford to pay for an exclusive from Dior or Gucci, but to come up with the idea of a handbag and bring it to life is within the power of anyone who knows how to hold a needle and thread in their hands.

It's important to know! Buy specially suede or genuine leather you won’t have to sew a product, because in every house there are old jeans, scraps of leather, buttons - in this way they solve the issue of purchasing materials for work.

Mom on maternity leave will need paper and a pencil, as well as imagination. Sewing a product is not a problem - the question is how to do it in an original way. The shape of the handbag can be standard, but the needlewoman will decorate the canvas with embroidery. Or create a stylized accessory in the fashion of past years. The idea of tailoring special aprons for the home with large pockets also brings money, they store household trifles (it is convenient to keep it in the kitchen and in the nursery). Knitted clutches are also a popular option for turning a hobby into an income.

What kind of business to do in a small town

Recently, mothers have decided to unite. This is done in order to save money on delivery when ordering clothes for your beloved children. There are fewer examples of joint business, but this is promising direction! Such "boring" commerce as needlework develops more cheerfully in a circle of like-minded people.

Real life example! Two friends organized a studio in France where you can rent a sewing machine and a cutting table for a few hours. The room has a corner for tea drinking and socializing, master classes and useful courses for craftswomen are regularly held. The idea turned out to be in demand even in spoiled Paris. After 2 months, the atelier brought the first income to its owners.

In Russia, there has long been a practice to unite in artels. This way of working gave advantages over the capabilities of single masters. Joint business reduces costs (for example, materials are ordered in bulk at favorable prices) and distributes authority (each is assigned the job that is best done). Business is not single orders, but a factory. The more orders an enterprise can fulfill, the more new ideas it offers to the market, the brighter its future.
