I have my own business. I am a virtual assistant, I work for business owners on a sub-contract level for their administrative needs, bookkeeping etc. It allows business owners to delegate the work and not have to hire someone with payroll and more expenses. Best thing is I work in my office so no need to purchase additional office supplies too. I have a nice start of a list of Deaf businesses in the Illinois area, as well as other areas of the country. I'm not sure how to go about making it public or networking. A passion of mine is networking, I love it, as well as being a business owner. Look forward to networking with you soon.

When money comes into our deaf world, we need to keep it circulating within our community instead of sending it right back out to the hearing world again.

People loved his work because he always returned their repaired shoes very shiny and clean. One of my former school mates was a skilled cabinet maker and another younger one is a building contractor and is very talented in all phases of his work. A perfectionist!

I agree with you that we need better networking about deaf business in the USA. I am planning the world's first convention in recreation and leisure within 2 years here in California and plan to include workshops on deaf businesses. I will have you in mind and will keep you informed. Keep up your good work with your business! Do you know Sid Ander? He runs a business in Texas too.
