1. How to Generate Income with YOUR Hobbies
Talents and Skills (Offered as a live workshop or
starter kit CD and natural talent test)
POWERMIND project research shows everyone has natural talents and genetic skills that can be marketed and turned into immediate income. Through our research a Natural Talent and Genetic Skills Test was developed. Participants will take this test and we will demonstrate how YOUR particular hobbies, talents and skills can be transformed into practical small business plans. We provide street smart marketing ideas to help you advertise your business locally or regionally. We researched over 50 successful single person businesses in MN and WI to share as role models. We reveal their start-up, advertising methods, products and services. You will find this program highly motivational and inspirational.
This program was developed for laid-off workers but is appropriate for high school students, college students, dislocated workers,, retired persons, ex-offenders and veterans.
Discounts are available for bulk purchases of the starter kit which includes the CD and Natural Talent Test.
2. POWERMIND Natural Talent and Genetic
Skills Testing
Recently developed to address the need for a new career assessment tool. The POWERMIND Natural Talent and Genetic Skills Test cannot by design give a false positive answer. Most assessments and bubble sheet, computer or online scored tests are riddled with false positive answers. Example: many people view these computer tests as a joke! A highly trained web designer said his computer scored test said he should look into being a bus driver! This same person took our natural talent test and it correctly assessed his main talent, but also revealed several other secondary talents he was not aware of.
Our test consists of over 100 questions, many open ended that hone in on specific talent areas. It also has many genetic analysis questions to help you determine inherited skills, both physical and mental. An excellent scientifically developed genetic test to replace all bubble sheet, on line career assessments.
Powermind Natural Talent and Genetic Skills Tests are available in bulk at a discount or licensing for organization such as Workforce Centers, HIRED, DEED, rehabilitation, corrections, high schools and colleges.

Small Business
