How I Survived My First Year of Full-time Self-employment: Going It Alone at 40 Liz Broomfield

Publisher Marketing: One December I stopped being part-time employed / part-time self-employed and took the big, exciting (and scary) step into full-time self-employment. Except it wasn't scary, because I'd worked, planned, set goals and knew when it was time to do it. In this book I share exactly how I got to that stage. No tricks, no schemes to buy into, no promises of wealth on very little effort - just the concrete ways in which I planned, measured, built and worked hard to have the flexible and comfortable lifestyle I now enjoy. I'm passionate about helping other small business owners see that they, too, can take the plunge: that they don't have to be a beardy entrepreneur, give up everything and live on nothing: that you can do it carefully and safely, building your own safety net until you can fly free. This book is a mixture of diary entries and useful articles that will help you to find out ... - whether self-employment is for you - how to establish a business while maintaining your employment - how to set goals - how to network - how to measure your social media and website success - how to manage your days so you stay healthy - how to achieve a good work-life balance - how to dress to work at home Contributor Bio:  Broomfield, Liz I'm a happily and successfully self-employed editor, proofreader, localiser and transcriber, and I'm passionate about sharing the lessons I've learned along the way to help other people. My books use my own personal experience to show you how you can achieve similar results. No gimmicks, nothing to download or buy (except for the books), no schemes to join, just good, old-fashioned common sense. I tell you exactly what I did, and share my experiences, good and bad, and I try to provide some useful resources, too, where you can find more information. I hope you enjoy reading my books. As an independent author, I don't have a huge marketing machine behind me.
