The 5 Best Things About Working for Myself

Desert Island

Taking up Marion’s theme, which also just happens to be the topic of an end-of-term challenge we have set the Better Bloggers, here are my Five Best Things About Working for Myself. This is a BlogTag and if you would like to play, just let me know and I’ll send you an invitation to participate early next week. We are giving the Better Bloggers a head start until Saturday. My self-employed career is now some thirty-five (35!) years young. And over that time my Five Best Things would definitely have changed and changed again, and again. This is the 2012 [...]

I use the word Entrepreneur to describe everyone who works for themselves, even though this isn’t the definition.

Well the honest truth is, most don’t.   It’s all so exciting at the beginning, we are a nation of shop-keepers which these days equals your own virtual shop for your business and there’s so much to do at inception, it’s just like playing post offices.   Weighing scales, stamps, stationery supplies, [...]
