Thousands of military spouses are slowing growing their own businesses. They are crafting, selling, marketing and counting. They offer a full range of services and products.

And when they face a challenge, often they face it alone, especially when their spouse is deployed or training.

What many of them don't know, is there is an organization to help them grow their business, offer advice and an ear to listen.

The National Association of the Self Employed was created to help entrepreneurs manage their businesses, seek advice and have a voice in Washington D.C.

For 2016, number three on their list is workplace flexibility. Employees want it. Employers need it. Now, let’s make it happen.

Time to dig through those shoeboxes full of paperwork, tax time is here.

And the more organized and knowledgeable you are about the laws, the easier it will be for you to file.

Military members, and spouses, often have very different tax rules to follow than non-military affiliated Americans. If you are tackling your own taxes this year, you need to know what laws give you a break not afforded to everyone else.

It is best to go to the source.

Was your New Years' resolution to find a job? Lucky for you, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is going to make it a little easier for you to make that wish come true.

The foundation sponsors several military spouse only job fairs around the country each month. National companies seek out these job fairs specifically because they know the talent and capability that military spouses bring to the workplace.

Print out plenty of copies of your resume, dress for the job you want and head out to one of these great events. Your perfect job is waiting for you in 2016.
