I lost my job, decided to go self-employed

[thegrimsleeper]

Hey all, so I found out a little over an hour ago during a meeting with 2 of my 6 bosses that I am a budgetary casuality after almost 7 years of service. I have a small side business that I've been building over the last couple years that I've decided I'm going to take full time and full throttle. Right now I'm looking for a couple people in the new Jersey area that are interested in earning some extra income through teaching basic financial concepts to people. No finance experience necessary, I didn't have any either. Anyone interested let me know.

wow, if you weren't a regular I'd think you were a spammer with a get rich quick scheme. So what is this side project? And good luck with it. Starting up like this is a big thing to do.

I guess that did sound a little spammish, lol. I work with middle class families teaching them financial concepts either one on one or doing seminars. I've done classes as colleges, churches, fairs and other places and honestly really enjoy it. What I want to do is start training and developing other people to really start doing my job along side me, since (and this is a good problem) I have too many places to go I can't reach them all. I think losing the job was a good thing since it can let me focus on my business more, so I'm pretty happy I got canned, lol.

It sounds like a good concept. Its funny how things like being fired can end up being for the best in the long run.

Good luck with it.

good luck grim. If you were out here, i'd happily attend one of your seminars, i need budgeting skills so very badly.
