Instead of settling on a job that Jessie Sanders wasn't excited about, she designed her own perfect career: aquatic veterinary medicine. 
 
Understanding the need to create a plan, Jessie worked with SCORE mentor Barbara Humphries and was walked through a six-month planning phase before being referred to mentor Michael Sarka for additional assistance; and eventually, lots of success!
 
 

In this podcast, SCORE mentors chat with Nellie Akalp, Founder and CEO of CorpNet.com, an online legal document filing service that helps entrepreneurs start, grow, and maintain their business. 
 
Hear her advice for incorporating your small business.

Business Filings -- Will you be a sole proprietorship, limited liability company (LLC) or corporation? 
 
Self-Employment Insurance -- There are specific programs and credits you may be eligible for as a self-employed individual. Do you know what options are available to you? 
 
Read the entire article to start having fun and making money while doing it!
