Oh and I'm still in school... March will be a year that I've been going... I'm gonna stick with it... great money to be made if so...

Just wanted to update those that care.... :sunny:
 
:sunny: That is great news, Champ! Looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks for the update as I have been wondering how you were doing.
 
:cheers:

Awesome! You must be relieved! Hope you enjoy your new job and things continue to be positive! :sunny:
 
Do what I did, go to work for your self. First have a party! Celebrate your freedom from the ratrace.:cheers:
Do what you know.Copy what's already working.It keep be as simple as walking dogs.Building birdfeeders,Go down to yoursales tax office and get a
permit to collect them and instructions.Go to the city or county office and signup your name as a business owner(No fee for that maybe $5.00)
Now make a plan.(If you have to deliver pizza or paper ect.} you have to know
where you're headed.The libaray is full of instructions on how something is done. But it's simply to do what you know and limit it to your ability.I set aponitments and qualified customers for sales reprensentatives on commission.That way if things didn't work out they weren't out nothing.
Put yourself in front of your respective customers in temporary work,
If your customers are well off work a clerk job in that part of town.That way when they see you they'll know you on a name bais.Do temp jobs to learn the parts of your business you don't know: watch someone else without getting in their way.That way you'll see all sides of you dream career the
good and bad.If you try and cann't do all parts figure out who can do those parts for you and what it will cost.(How?Ask!)
Don't hold out on taxes, licenses fees ect.Remenber Al Capone's parting
words on his way to prison.If I had it to do over I'd get a licenses, a permit,
then, then I'd operate my business.I know he was a crook but he started
the school lunch program and milk everyday for the kids.I'll thank him for that.
 
Court reporting is on its way out. It's being replaced by voicewriting. I'd look into that before I would invest any serious time or money into court reporting training. (I do transcription for a living and use voicewriting, and there are plenty of ex-court reporters in our ranks.)
