A lot of my clients, and a lot the people who read this blog are self-employed/freelance consultants, coaches or other professionals.
Many others have written to me saying they’re thinking about going solo or are on the verge of taking the plunge.
Frankly, going solo and setting up my own business was the best career move I ever made. It’s not all been plain sailing, but I wouldn’t go back for the world.
What I do wish though, is that someone had laid out all the pitfalls and challenges for me beforehand so I went into it with open eyes. And I really could have done with advice about what it’s actually like working alone and how to make it work for you and build a support network to help.
Well, the good news is that someone has.
My good friend and fellow self-employed consultant/coach Antoinette Oglethorpe has developed a free report on ‘How to become self-employed confidently and effectively‘. It’s a detailed guide to what it takes to make self employment a success.
Antoinette is an executive and career coach for business leaders – so the report’s written very much with senior and experienced people in mind, rather than for those fresh out of college. If you’re currently in a senior position or have “been around the block a while” then the report will be particularly relevant for you.
If you sign up for the report, Antoinette will send you a further series of tips and tools. You can also check out some of the articles she’s written on successful self-employment on her blog by clicking here.
