I taught this class at the Learning Annex after realizing
I'd started dozens of personal services businesses in my
life. In college, for extra money I cut hair and did
garment mending and alterations for my dorm-mates. In
addition to this service, I used to own a crisis advice
service and a speaker promotion service which started in a
second bedroom.
