I started my business in March 2004, just 2 months before my youngest daughter was born! You, like me, might be considering a career change due to a change in family circumstances, or perhaps you've just had enough of working for someone else and want to work for yourself!

People sometimes find it tricky to write down nice things about themselves. We are taught to be modest, not to boast or show off. Well this is your opportunity to sing your praises! To think about just how good you really are! If you can't identify your own strengths, don't expect anyone else too! Now is the time to be honest with yourself about what you really think you are good at ... Read more: http://homeforbusiness.co.uk/changing-career/
