Starting a Business

Publishing Possibilities

I have something that I’ve been thinking about for a long, long time that I want to bounce off you (my loyal readers).  I’ve always had a strong interest in authoring a book, and I’ve managed to half-write several since the age of 16. This year I found myself in talks with a couple of [...]

Starting A Business – 6th Month Review

Starting A Business – 6th Month Review

Well here we are again, another month’s review, though admittedly this month is going to be looking back across both June and July as I totally missed the “5th month” review completely.

Taking On Staff & Being The Boss

Taking On Staff & Being The Boss

I’m just coming up to the end of my first full month with my first member of staff, so I thought I’d put together a quick post on how it’s going so far.  So far, it’s genuinely fantastic and I think that it will prove to have been an excellent decision. How It Started Last [...]

Avoiding Nightmare Clients

Avoiding Nightmare Clients

In about my 2nd week of being self employed I got an inquiry for a PSD to xHtml job. I charged too little, I worked too much, and I generally should never have taken on the work in the first place. The client had high expectations, no budget, and claimed to know a lot more [...]

Starting A Business – 2nd Month Review

Where did March go? I feel like I’ve been short changed on time this last month. 31 days just seems to disappear in the blink of an eye! Thankfully though, I got a huge amount done, so once again it’s time to take a look back at the things I set out to achieve and [...]
