Barbara, this post would be far more helpful if you talked about what you do and how you came to choose it. I have my own part-time business which I discussed here for anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of how I picked it, financed it, promoted it and collect the benefits from it by working, so far, 3 hours this year for a return of over $10,000. I'm retired so it is part-time and more for the fun than the money but it still comes out to about $3333.00 for each hour of work! If all goes as it is going now, that amount will more than double by the end of the year without another hour committed. And it is honest and almost recession proof.
