Back to The 9 to 5

More and more people are starting their own business and many of those businesses start off as part-time ventures, run by budding entrepreneurs who dream of one day giving up that 9 to 5 job and running their business full time.

I did that for most of 9 years, taking the chance when being made redundant in 2003 to make a go of the business full time.

During the four and a half years I was doing just that, I also worked for a period of time for a company called Lionbridge who use freelance workers in project work for the MSN search engine. This kept me going and gave me the freedom to keep working at home and carry on doing other things.

During the first two days when I was working in Reading, I actually had more phone messages left for me than in the previous 3 months and I seem to have hit a boom in the sale of mailing lists. My business certainly isn’t dead and I will, one day, return to working full time for myself.

In the meantime, if you have placed any orders or made an enquiries, please bear with me. At the moment it is taking about a day longer than previously to deal with orders and enquiries but they will get sorted.
