I would ultimately like to own my own business. Having worked from home for the last year, I know that I have the discipline to do this. Unfortunately I can't afford the ramp up period of lost income while building my clientele. Therefore, while I continue searching for a regular job, I am also working on starting a side business.



I have been teaching computer classes at my local park district to build a name for myself within the community where my hubby and I just moved last year. This past week we reserved a PO Box, and domain name for ourselves. I have been working hard to get the web site set up and get business cards designed. I'll be helping people buy computers, setting them up with updated software/drivers, teaching them how to use the programs, and creating a preventive maintenance plan for them. My target audience is primarily home computers and small offices.



I'll also be doing speaking engagements, corporate training and data input / manipulation (setting up spreadsheets, databases, corporate presentations, etc.). I have been getting my certifications up to date and setting up my office.
