  • That’s the first year over….

    Posted by Andy Gorman on October 26, 2004 at 11:01 pm

    Hello you lot. I’ve just reached the end of my first year of self employment without going bankrupt, and things are going pretty well. I daresay there are a few ups and downs yet to come but I feel pretty confident of surviving it all. Anyways, I must acknowledge the huge amount of advice and, more importantly, encouragement I was given by the members on this site when I started and during the last year. It has been a massive benefit to me to share the experiences of all board members. All a bit soppy I know, but the fact is, that without this website things would have been a lot more difficult. So thanks, you ever helpful lot. And Rob, of course! 😉

    Well done Big G and Mort too!

    You will look back after a few years and think……. what have I done with my life…. Na just kidding.

    Been self employed for over 20 years now, some days are diamonds, some days are stone (hmmm I feel a song coming on..) but everyday is another day that no one will tell you what to do.

    Unless you’re married of course, but that is another post :lol1:

    Cheers

    Good for you, Big G and Mort!
    Been at it over 19 years myself now, and I’m still broke.
    But my skills have improved at least!
    Love…..Jill
