Greetings everyone I'm Jayna Sheffield at the Untapped Wealth business desk and today I have a story of inspiration to share with you.  Our client has given me permission to tell her story. 
Megan Moffat has been a client of us for over 10 years now and she came to us in the mid 90s after being laid off from her job as a systems engineer at a large computer company.  She was a victim of those massive down sizings at her company  and when it happened she was totally unprepared for it.  In fact, she was very angry because it was quite obvious to her that her company had laid her off due to her being visually impaired.  Many of her co-workers agreed and our investigations uncovered that this very well-known company had deliberately bullied her into taking one of their so-called separation packages.
Suffice it to say that Megan was devastated.  She was smart, very well qualified, highly motivated, but her company did not want to be bothered with giving equal opportunity to a visually impaired person.  In short, they felt that it was better to pay her off to leave because they did not feel that a visually impaired person would fit into their restructuring plans. 
We took Megan under our wing and it took some convincing for her to make the decision to try a new career and we worked with her to develop some very dormant skills that she had unwittingly ignored while she was a systems engineer at her previous employers.
Megan went back to school and graduated with a degree in translation.  It took her two years to do this and upon graduation we worked with her to develop a business plan, secure a business loan, and literally plan her future.  When this was done she opened her doors as a translator and we helped her to design and develop a website to advertise her services on the Internet.  Together we worked to get her website into all of the popular search engines including Yahoo and Google, we developed newsletters that she could offer to her visitors at no charge, and we employed some very innovative strategies to help her get on her feet.
For the past four years Megan has been grossing six figure annual revenues and she has had to employ two other translators to help with the business.  Her visual impairment is not a hindrance to her in any way and all who have met her are totally blown away by her attitude and her willingness to work hard and please her customers.    
In addition to having her own translation business,Megan is part of the www.translationpeople.com team and she has been helping them to increase their revenues, reduce their costs, and expand their customer bases.  This team is made up of a very dynamic bunch of translation professionals that offers language coaching, translation, blog, article, and newsletter writing in several languages, and transcription services plus much more.  If you'd like to learn more then pay them a visit today.
