    Like Andy, I LOVE being my own boss, working in my PJ's and being home with my kids.

    I put in 25 years as a Charge Nurse and Medical Fraud Investigator, so I figured NOW it's MY time! We vacation (even if it's a mini vacation) every 2-3 months and can vacation all summer if we choose.... ALL business write offs..

    Re: What Made You Decide To Start Your Own Business

    I decided to start my own business after 18 years in bedside nursing.
    My business is marketing dental and medical discount plans .
    The healthcare crisis in this country is horrible and this gives me an opportunity to help others while making money..

    I needed more freedom and I wanted to control my own hours.
    I am currently working parttime in addition to my business, but my goals are to eventually leave bedside nursing completely.

    Re: What Made You Decide To Start Your Own Business

    Well, at 20 years old it didn't bother me that the hospital OWNED me and MY TIME! At 30 I started a Medical Cost Containment Corporation doing medical fraud reviews, certified medical auditing, legal reviews... which honestly owned ME more than ME owning it, and at 40-50, I decided to more follow my passion and have a business Tim and I could work from home, and we LOVE it. We have a life with Vacations now! LOL! Linda/CMAS, BS, RN
