I worked for a non profit agency for over a year. I was injured on the job and put on medication and fired. Unemployment available-what are my options? My income tax came back and I decided to invest in my own business (housecleaning)- interacting with people inside their homes, helping them clean or organize their environments. I am currently taking a Business Planning Course. 10 weeks of how to start your own business and be successful at what you do-$150. Investing in yourself and creating what you want with what you have.
