When I first started thinking about opening my own business was about 2 years ago. I was working as a ER Tech/EMT in the local hospital when one night I pulled something more than just a muscle in my back. I herniated a disc in my neck and tore my tendon in my left shoulder which caused severe nerve damage to my left side. Did I mention I am all of 5'2 and 130lbs. My job required lifting, pulling, pushing, and constantly being on your feet. I knew that I was in trouble and I was not going to ever be the same and I would never be able to do the job the way I did before. My children worried about me everyday. They were happy when I was put out of work. They didn't understand what that meant.
We all know that the economy is terrible and that unemployment reach an all time peak in our State. My situation was going to get extremely worse before it even got better.
I worried everyday I knew things were going to get really rough and sure enough they did.
After a year of being home I knew I had to do something. I had to try to supplement my income or replace the income I made before the accident.
I began researching all kinds of stay at home job sites and woah I found out so much information over the internet. My mind wanted to explode I wasn't sure what was what.
I started to look for a mentor someone that new exactly what they were talking about and had experienced it for themselves. I should have known better because anything that sounds that good can't be true.
Eventually I talked myself into paying this mentor who promised he would help build my business with me and be there every step of the way. It was extremely costly and found out later after spending all that time and money that there are mentor ship programs for small business owners that are FREE!!! And who doesn't love FREE!!! I wanted to kick myself even harder when I realized I was getting ripped off by my website builders. Their hosting fees are ridiculous. These connections that I thought I had made were through this mentor ship program. They are designed to rip you off.
So here I am writing a blog in the hopes that I can inspire and help people just like me.
So if you are starting your own business your going to want to read this blog somethings will even shock you but most of all I hope I can give helpful advice that won't let you lose money but start to make money right away the right way.
