WHAT MAKES YOU TICK?
The decision to start your own business is a very personal one.
Whilst the idea may be alluring, nobody tells you how much hard work is involved. That being said, it can be incredibly rewarding!
You are no longer constrained by traditional methods of working and you are free to be your own boss.
During my "traditional private practice," the thought of setting up on my own never seemed viable. However, with the backing of my clients, family and friends, it became a reality back in 2013.
I wanted the freedom to pick and choose my working pattern and with whom I worked. The latter was/is so important to me.
My advice:-
- it sounds trite, but people buy from people, particularly when professional services are involved; and
- only work with people who share your morals, values and ethics. Without these, the relationship is so much harder to maintain/develop, and prone to difficulties; and
- do what makes you happy. Without it, work becomes a chore!
So, what makes you tick?
