WESTMINSTER, Colo., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Home-based business owners got a novel taste of "classroom meets office" this week when Russ Dalbey, CEO and founder of The Dalbey Education Institute, hosted a "boot camp" for 25 entrepreneurs. The unique approach to hands on education engaged the group in live business situations directly from their Westminster classroom.The Dalbey Education Institute provides educational services and access to capital for home-based entrepreneurs interested in building a business in the cash flow note industry. By helping to match buyers and sellers of cash flow notes -- much in the same way financial institutions buy and sell mortgages -- Dalbey Education Institute students are able to profit from commissions on these sales. No personal financial investment in cash flow notes is required.

The military last year officially discharged more than 3,100 recruits with psychiatric histories, either in boot camp or within the first six months of enlistment.
