[nabentre] Transportation issues

Well I look at what I can do?

What skills do I have?

Etc.

Write up a list on all the things you love to do and willing to put yourself into it. Because there will be days you will not be making money, being depressed, as to say why did I do this.

Hey but this is our dream to be entrepreneurs.

Also you need find out what services you have in your state, do you have the Randolph Sheppards program in your state, maybe your commission for the blind, has entrepreneur trainings and opportunity.

When I lost my vision back in 2001, I wanted to be a medical insurance specialist,  after I became well from other medical issues that caused my blindness. 

I went to Medical Bill School. I was the 1st to graduate as a blind person. I worked as a medical biller for a Medical Lab for a few years, didn't work out, long story, but I sued them.

After that, I did what I said, I put what do I like to do, what skills do I have, and how can I turn lemons into lemonade.

I have all the computer skills likes like Microsoft Word, Excel, powerpoint.

I used to be a secretary, I used to book travel for myself and my family, and the Sales Team where I used to work.

Loved it, love to travel.

So, I became a travel agent 2009. It is a lot of work and always learning and have to be on top of it all. I service everyone and I specialize in travel arrangements for those that are blind.

So the days when you are not booking someone, or gong to travel agent events, etc; and getting depressed, I have to remember I am a business owner, this is mine and I love what I do.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
