Business Plan
Not many people are aware that I am disabled. I have deformities in my spine and a short leg, so I suffer from chronic pain. I go to the chiropractor once a week, I get antinflammatory injections, I do my exercises, I use traction, and I wear a lift in my left shoe. Needless to say, I have some obstacles to work around. I have been making and selling fine art and crafts since 1990 but I have really focused on turning my hobbies into a profitable business these last four years.
My rehabilitation counselor, Holly, told me about a work incentive program for people with disabilities. I need to complete a business plan which I will do with some help from Mark at the Small Business Association. When the paperwork goes through, I will be able to purchase two tables that can be pushed down or pulled up depending on my needs. With my condition, it is actually better for me to work standing up.
I have been fortunate to have friends and family help me keep up with the demands of my business, but I will need to hire a part time worker in January so I have more reliable help. This is all very exciting!
