Dreaming of Being Your Own Boss? Let’s Make It Real. 💼✨

Think self-employment is off the table because you receive SSI or SSDI? Think again.

We know the system can feel rigid, but the Ticket to Work program isn’t just for traditional 9-to-5 jobs. As the image says, "Your Ticket is a Tool, Not a Trap." It can actually be your backstage pass to launching your own venture.

Here is the reality check on how to move from "dreaming" to "doing":

🔹 Communication is Critical: If you want to launch a business, you have to be transparent. Loop in your Employment Network (EN) from day one. Navigating self-employment income reporting with Social Security is different than standard wages—you need a partner who knows the ropes so you don't face scary surprises later.

🔹 Find the Right "Vibe": Not all Employment Networks support self-employment. Many shy away from it because it’s complex. You need to find a team that vibes with your vision and isn't afraid of the extra paperwork. (Hint: We love a challenge).

🔹 Already Started: Dabbled in freelance work? Done gig economy jobs? If you have a 1099, you’ve already dipped your toes in entrepreneurial waters. You have the grit—now you just need the strategy.
