Fair play mate, good luck! Where bouts in Norfolk?

 

Not sure exactly but as we will be renting first it's more about finding good schools for my 4 boys . I like north Norfolk best

Working evenings and weekends is what I have done and literally yesterday gone on my own. One issue I found is that this gives you very little time to do your own work unless you are superman so be careful how you advertise, I took the view it's better to never get a call from a potential customer than to turn one away. Electronic/social media stuff takes some time to kick in mine has just started to pay dividends but local rags can bring in loads of work which is where I found myself run ragged! A few good mates to subbie to is a nice safety net, one which I've been careful to craft.

Congratulations mate it's a great feeling this is my second time and last its do or die for me .

I totally agree about the weekend work I'm keeping myself busy through word of mouth friends family etc and subcontracting . Buisness cards for me are just a nice way of exchanging details and building the dream . Same goes for the clothing .

I realise it will make you busier. If you are going to buy a home to live in do it before you become self employed. We are having a right struggle to get a mortgage that's worthwhile.

I've been self employed 15 years, it counts for nothing in morgage terms.

I know what your saying I had the same with my first buisness . I enjoy renting now and don't think I will change .

The bigger the reward the bigger the risk. Generally you reap what you sow, so assuming you are hardworking and talented then it is likely to work for you.

 

You will have cash flow problems as a growing business, we all do, but if you have good people around you then there is a chance you will succeed.

 

Realisation of dreams is about sacrifice, hard work is a given.

 

Good luck.
