Annette, I've always had a passion for helping people, especially those in need. With that being said, I am actively pursuing the marketing aspect of my air ambulance brokerage business based in Kingman, Az. Desert Sun Aviation. I have not really had the time nor the resources to get this business off the ground, but, they say, where there's a will, there's a way. I keep finding more avenues where I can advertise at a relatively cheap price. Although I'm hearing more stories about folks who have done very well by spending a fortune advertising in the right niche market.
I just had to spend some money on my aging vehicle, and it about cleaned out my savings. I still have a little left. I have some good friends who are a major support factor to me right now. One was in the same class I was in last November when I went to work for Amerijet. He was also furloughed, and we've become relatively good friends since then.
I'm thinking about making a portion of my business a not for profit organization. I would like to know your feelings about this.
I've also found some information about aquiring help from the SBA to start up a business. The state of Nevada has a large fund available, I was not aware until just recently. Arizona's fund is somewhat smaller.
It has now been 5 weeks sinced I was furloughed. I am at home in Kingman, Az. I am comfortable, and am spending much more time online, which is now very important to me. In fact I am fixing to send out a letter to all my friends about a program I've gotten involved with called Lazy Trading. The Forex Market is new to me, but it has also been very good to me. I doubled my money last week. I hope I can do it again this week.
Thank you so much for your prayers and your support. This past week I was somewhat depressed with the situation. When I get this way, I don't usually correspond much. I know this is not good, but that's the way it is sometimes.
I just met a dear christian lady a week ago who is a dentist. We went hiking up in the mountains nearby last Saturday, and the view was spectacular. I will share some of the pics here, if I don't get cut off before I finish :)
Actually, I've got to upload these pics onto another server, so I'll send them in a separate message.
