Hello,
I am un-employed and cannot seem to find a job in Houston , Texas. I am thinking on starting a small biz on a shoestring budget. I have worked as an office manager in home health agencies and have experience as a medical biller. I would like to be given some small bis ideas that are recession proof and also have a low investment.
Thanks for you advice.
Gigi

Hi Gigi;

First is did you like your office manager position? or Medical Billing?

If the answer is no, I would take this opportunity while you're out of work to find out what you do like to do.

If your answer is yes, then what did you like about them?

Working in the medical field is still recession proof, you just need to find your niche. For example if you liked working for home health agencies there are many areas for you to expand on here. At one point or another everyone is going to need, or require some type of home health care. With all the contacts you have in this field you could start your own placement agency. Join with local senior centers in your area to get clients and hold seminars on topics you're familiar with.

Medical Billing is a whole different scenario. Especially with rumors going on about government subsidized health care lurking in our future. I would not advise you to work a career around this until all the kinks get worked out.

Most important is never give up....you only fail if you quit.

Good Luck.
