Given everything that has gone down this past week, my timeline for going into business for myself might have just accelerated. This week on my todo list is to try to get approved to become a benefits counselor for Social Security and see if I can contract with the Delaware Department of Labor Vocational Rehabilitation. That’s going to be for Monday morning.
I’m also going to see about gig work on Fiverr. I wonder if there will be opportunities for things like copyediting and proofreading. I’ll also check out UpWork. Gig work isn’t lucrative by any means but perhaps I could find a way to replace the security guard income that I am about to lose.
I guess I need to brainstorm other ideas as well. I just discovered NoGigiddy and I think when I get home this afternoon that I am going to sign up for it. Anything I can do to make some extra cash.
I have to continue to brainstorm ideas though. The more entrepreneurial I can be the better. If I can get some regular money flowing in the door that doesn’t involve the bullshit of working as a security guard, I think the happier I will ultimately be. It will be even better if I could do it on a work from home or remote basis.
