People who have worked for others all their lives have a hard time getting their minds wrapped around self-employment. You have to find business as well as execute the work. My son does it, but he is one who will work 70+ hours a week.

Well see that's the thing All my working life I have has a 9-5 M-F problem. My office is now at my home. I haven't even opened yet and yes I have already spent a lot of late nights and weekends working. It's a happy work though. I can stop what I'm doing and do something around the house or run errands when I need too. I've done this non profit before so from the teaching end I'm ok. State regs and business wise it's new. I have a counselor with the small business bureau that is helping me. I have some wonderful people in the community that know me and are also helping me with equipment and space to keep my overhead down until I'm up and running. I'm not quiting my day job just yet. I do plan to go part time soon though.
