Okay fellow members....

I'm hanging out my shingle this time. I'd love to hear some feedback from
those who are operating their own businesses as to the +/- of different types of
businesses. I live in S.E. Florida and have access to quite a bit of
information, 3 major county libraries and many newspapers for obituary research.

I am wanting to start out slow and take on small projects to get myself
started. What directions would you suggest, given your cumulative knowledge.

I have a computer, fax, scanner, desks, file cabinets and phone and cell. I
have basically all the office materials I need. I have designed a very
professional letterhead with matching business card. I have not taken on or assumed
a business name other than my own.

I'm looking for suggestions and ideas in any area that you already love so I
can think about what I would like to create for myself.

I have been studying much, have Elizabeth Shown Mills' "Professional
Genealogy," and have spent 33 years as a paralegal. I know and understand computers
and type about 120 words a minute. So computers are everyday life for me. I
just have a small tentative website up at the moment, but will be working on
that soon.

Thanks so much for your anticipated assistance as I begin this journey.
