How I started my own business

Once upon a time I worked for corporate organisations. I did that for over 10 years. I learned loads but wanted to start on my own and I snapped when i was pregnant,carrying my first baby 2003.

The timing was right and that’s when I decided to go it alone. Back in January 2007 and I have never looked back. When you are employed but want to start something it can seem risky – but the rewards are so great.

One thing you can do whilst you are still employed is to sketch out a plan and financial forecasts of the business you are thinking of starting. Then you’ll have a great idea of what you need to achieve in your first year and beyond.

So if you are still *thinking* of starting your business then start putting pen to paper right now.
