I've sent a private email to Jenny, but I thought I would respond to the list as well. There are many opportunities for OT entrepreneurs, but there are many differences between having a job and owning a business that have to be considered for a person to become successful. You need to be thinking about funding/cash flow, insurance and preparation for the un-expected, who, where, and how many clients you may have the ability to reach and how many of them you need to see for financial health of the business, and referral sources, marketing to reach and stay in front of those referral sources and so many other business things on top of doing what motivated you to start the practice in the first place. That's all I can think of off the top of my head this morning. There is so much to do and such a variety of skills required, that partnerships, alliances, or enough money to outsource some jobs may be necessary. That's the "gloomy part" of business. The best part is that if you have a strong enough vision, you will really enjoy the creative process of making that vision possible. .... I just remembered you were talking about a low vision practice, no pun intended. BevVan
