Look in the entrepreneur section of "specialty", if you haven't done so already. There is tons of info over there about IC. I am also thinking of doing it.

Hi Rokidog, im also looking into this IC myself. So u mean the specialty section for entrepeneurs..ok! So do you know anyone in this business and doing well??

A few years ago I was working with someone who was doing it-- she loved it and was doing very well. Unfortunately, I lost touch with her and at the time, I didn't quite get it. I wasn't understanding what exactly she was telling me. She was kind of vague, I think, because Admin didn't really want her to talk about it much.

A local CPA I have contacted has told me one of his clients does this and is very successful. I am hoping she will contact me and "talk."

There are groups and books which people can join or buy -- but I am trying to go it without having to buy it . We'll see, I may cave...

My biggest problem right now is trying to figure out possible "contract issues" and I haven't had much feedback on the other area. ( yes, an organization or book would help with these issues!! :))

Good luck, if I hear anything from the CPA client I'll let you know...
