Ideas/Advice regarding self-employment please... :O)
2 Answers
Hello Everyone :O)
After several painful years in various office jobs I am becoming more and more certain that self-employment is a more appropriate route to take!
My family and boyfriend are all successfully self-employed, so I understand the kind of commitment that this will take!
The trouble is finding that good idea, knowing where to look, and trusting myself enough to take the leap!
I have a 2:1 International FinanceDegree, and am capable of doing most things, including an interest in physical and outdoor work, and I am not afraid of hard work.
My only limitation at the moment is an injury which means that I cannot do any lifting until I have an operation which I am waiting for on the NHS.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or been in a similar position? Or are you aware of any good books or websites that may help?
I really would look at doing anything! Self-employment is the main criteria!
Thank you very much for reading this far! :O)
I hope someone has the answers.... ;O)

Given that you understand finance (presumably!) more than most people, perhaps you could consider a franchise? You can find opportunities in newspapers (always research really well before parting with ANY money) or Google. But this is the hard work option.
In my experience people often get �self-employed� mixed up with �freelance�. If what you want is to be your own boss, control when you work and when you don�t, you mean freelance. But to be freelance you really have to have a skill/profession in the first place. Given that most people don�t appear to be able to understand basic personal finance, how about using your financial knowledge to educate others? Adult education? Get a teaching certificate and offer a package to schools?
Just some ideas to get you started. Hope they help.
