Overview
Ever tried climbing a ladder in a wheelchair? Spoiler alert: It sucks.
The corporate ladder was never built for disabled professionals, and traditional career paths often create more barriers than opportunities. But entrepreneurship offers an alternative—a chance to build financial security, autonomy, and a business that works for people with disabilities.
With the right support, entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for disabled individuals navigating a workforce that wasn’t designed with them in mind. Part-Time Entrepreneur challenges the outdated corporate mindset and offers a fresh approach to business ownership. Whether balancing chronic illness, caregiving, or simply wanting a business that fits into their life (not the other way around), this pragmatic guide provides practical strategies for working smarter—not harder.
Author and entrepreneur Maria Chapman knows firsthand the challenges of launching a business while managing life’s complexities. Through real-life experiences, proven frameworks, and actionable advice, she shares how to
- Build a profitable business without sacrificing one’s health or personal life
- Manage time, money, and energy for sustainable growth
- Leverage outsourcing and automation to avoid burnout
- Prioritize relationships, self-care, and nonnegotiables in one’s business strategy
Success isn’t about working more hours—it’s about working the right way. Part-Time Entrepreneur is the disabled person’s guide to redefining success, reclaiming their time, and building a business that works for them.
