With the economy in the dumps, more and more professionals are moving out of their standard full-time jobs and into self-employment arrangements. As a business owner and solo professional myself, I know just how important it is to get all your ducks in a row.

When you leave your employer, one of the first things you’ll need to think about is how you are going to replace your benefits - especially your insurance coverage. Today, there are many resources for self employed health insurance and self employed liability insurance on the web. Take your time when searching through these resources and be mindful of what’s important to you and your family (if applicable) - rates? coverage? special options?

On another note, you’ll need to keep your head straight so be sure to stay physically active and mentally focused. I am a firm believer in the power and importance of the entrepreneur’s mindset (a concept that applies to the traditional entrepreneur as well as the solo professional).

Money can become a huge problem in a small business - where cashflow is everything - so you should also think about the kinds of resources that might be available to you locally and are definitely available on the national level. The government is generally in favor of and strongly supportive of new small businesses - they are the lifeblood of our economy in many ways.

Since we’re all about mindfulness here on MindfulSource.com perhaps the most important point is to remember to balance work and life - don’t let your business take over and completely ruin your personal life. Exercise, healthy eating, and regular socializing are important for business owners and the self employed just as they are for the typical employees out there.

The folks at eHealthHelp.com asked me to review their website today, so I have provided a review below on their behalf.

I visited the Health Insurance website and was pleasantly surprised by what I found there.  Instead of the typical online insurance resource, which makes very aggressive attempts to sell visitors on quotes and insurance products, the eHealthHelp.com website is actually quite informative and very well organized.

Here are some of the parts of their website I found especially helpful:

• Health Insurance Glossary
  This caught my attention right away.  In the insurance world, with so many confusing terms and complicated concepts, it’s nice to have the most common vocabulary spelled out for you.  The eHealthHelp.com folks did a very nice job with this.
• Charts & Graphs
  Just next to the website glossary visitors will find two very informative charts.  Honestly, I’ve never seen a health insurance website with so much good stuff in the way of quality information.  One chart provides a visual look at HMO structure and another creates a picture of a claims filing process.

I really feel like the eHealthHelp.com website is one of the best in its class.  One area where I do think they could use a little improvement is in the overall look and feel.  The design is not the most attractive I’ve seen, but considering the overall value of the information, it’s a positive trade off.

When you have a chance, take a moment to visit eHealthHelp.com and see for yourself.  If you’re in the market for health insurance products, you will be pleasantly surprised.
