When I was young, my grandmother taught me 3 skills to make money and I have used two of them all my life to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those skills are cleaning and selling. No matter what job I have had, these two skills have made me an invaluable resource to the companies I work for and with. From cleaning a mini mansion and earning $200 for a day’s work to selling clothing at a retail chain on commission, I can always make a decent wage and be self sufficient.
