CONSIDERING:

Incorporation. It seems that would be the smartest thing to do from what I've read. Unfortunately it's expensive. One attorney quoted me $1500 to do it(which I do NOT have).


Bonnie, I've also decided to get my BCLS instructor certification. I think that would be another avenue to earn money, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. I take the class in 2 weeks.


If this whole thing turns out to be a waste of time and I fall flat on my face, at least I can say I tried!
