Practice, practice, practice.
No other way around it--you have great training, have to pay your dues early on. Just keep at it, the money will slowly work itself into your skill level. Takes about 3 good months of type, type, type, listen, listen, listen; look up, look up, look up. Good luck to you.

You need to call your City Hall or look online
I've lived in Virginia and Missouri and had to have one in both states. I think most people just assume you don't, but if you get caught operating a business in your home without one, you can get in trouble and face a fine. You can just Google "business license" and your city/state and should be able to tell if you need one or not. I make under 30,000 a year and the license is only around $50/year, so it's bad, and I don't have to pay any taxes or whatever on my equipment.
Yet another one burned by Robin Hall/Four Seasons Transcription
Robin managed to find me via Guru.com. I wish I had read the earlier warnings about her on here back then. I kept on working believing she way pay, falling for her excuses. She's very good at what she does. My paycheck was 5 weeks late when I finally said enough and told her I could no longer work for her on 02/01/08. Since that time I haven't been able to contact her through home phone, cell phone, e-mail, yahoo messenger or anything. I even tried calling her business number listed on her website for Four Seasons... guess what... that number has been disconnected with no forwarding number. She got me for over $800. The part I feel the worst about is I referred a friend to her shortly after starting with her myself. Robin now owes that friend over $900 and has still not paid her to this day. I know there's nothing I can do (still investingating legal action though) about what she did to me. I mainly want to warn other MT's about her. Please... before any of you accept a job at ANY company IC or employee.... check them out in any way possible.

Another scammer - Robin Hall (Four Seasons Transcription) sm
Robin Hall CONTINUES to scam MTs and get away with it. I get emails weekly from MTs who cannot get their paychecks from her. I find it absolutely incredible that she can continue to get away with this, but she does. After she had to leave here, she moved over to guru.com. I contacted them and warned them about her, but she wound up scamming some people there and has since been banned. Kind of an interesting aside - heard from a reliable source that Robin was giving hospitals a false Tax ID#. Go figure!!
