About
Are you dreaming about being your own boss? Do you want the freedom to make your own decisions and escape the rat race? Are you ready for a truly independent lifestyle?
Then becoming self-employed is for you.
I won’t lie and tell you it’s easy or that there is no work required. Self-employment requires a lot of hard work and determination, but there are so many rewards and you can make it whatever you wish.
Throughout this website, I’ll show you how you can become self-employed and be successful at it. I’ll provide you with the resources you’ll need to get set up and manage your money.
I’ve been self-employed for nearly a decade now and during this time I have learnt a lot. It helped that I was a Chartered Accountant working with small business owners, simply because I knew some of their challenges and understood the terminology. However, you do not need to be from a business background to become self-employed.
