Are you a disabled veteran?
If yes, then this article is for you. I know that I am speaking to an international audience, so I will not refer to the individual help that you may or may not receive from your government. What I will address is that there are options for you that you may not have considered.
I’ll list a few first, and then go a little deeper into explaining how you can take advantage of them.
-
Mentor
-
Speaker
-
Writer
-
coach
-
seller
-
Mechanic
-
And the list goes on…
You’ve probably realized that I don’t see you as limited. I just see that your situation calls for you to be more focused on what your options are. I have known people without legs who have climbed mountains and without arms have become experts in table tennis!
So, let’s get down to “business,” okay?
tutorships
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but people will pay incredible amounts of money for a great mentor who works with them professionally and personally. I have personally been paid over $10,000 by a single person to receive my tutoring. Can you help someone on their way? Can you guide them through a specific process or area of growth?
As a veteran, I believe he can for the simple reason that he has overcome and achieved what most in the world are afraid to try.
Speaker
Maybe you can’t walk, maybe you can’t catch a ball or hug your loved one… but can you give a word of encouragement or inspire someone? If you have the ability to get up each day and deal with what you are going through, could you be an inspiration to someone else who is struggling? YES!
There are many places that are actively looking for people like you to come and speak to your community, such as schools, churches, clubs, organizations, and corporations as well. And yes, they will pay you! It is often called a speaker’s fee or honoraria. See who you can inspire and where you can hang out, and then let the leader know that he’s open to the conversation.
Writer
All over the world, you are in demand if you can write a complete sentence clearly. You may think I’m kidding, but go online and look at all the poorly written articles, offers, and sales pages. Did you know that one of the best paid forms of writing is as a copywriter? Yes, you can actually make an extraordinary income selling other people’s stuff!
“I’m not a good writer” you say.
Then go learn how. It’s a very easy skill to learn that you can learn for free if you’re willing to do a little research.
coach
Chances are, being a veteran has given you the opportunity to learn a lot about fitness and motivation. If you are willing to teach that to others, you can pass on one of the most valuable things on this earth… health. It is one of the most profitable markets today. Health and fitness continue to rank as the highest earning area worldwide. Could you help them on their journey?
seller
If you think people will look down on you because of your challenges, discard that thought. Those who will are not worth the air you exhale. The rest will admire you for stepping up to your challenge. Sales is one of the most honorable paths if you ask me. You see, ethical selling is nothing more than simply helping others see the value and act on what will benefit them most.
If you believe in a product or service you are already selling it. In fact, look around you, people sell what they believe in all day long. Why don’t they pay you to do it?
Mechanic
I know to some of you this may seem like a bit of a stretch, but if a man can climb a mountain with no legs… what’s to stop him from fixing a car if he really wanted to?
COUSIN
This is my favorite area for all the beginners who feel like they don’t have skills, talents, experience and self-confidence. References.
Yes, that’s what I said. Simply refer people to other products or services. I have many people who refer those who need my services and trainings. Every person who refers someone who becomes a customer receives a sizeable financial bribe.
This is an area that I am passionate about helping people understand. You are not limited by anything other than your own belief in yourself. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and financially strapped, start working from home today and ask a caring mentor for help.
God bless you!
