Self employment is on the rise. This is a 4 part article series sharing 40 tips for happy self-employment.
1. A key decision is whether you want to have your own business or be an associate of someone else’s business, or a mixture – time, money, control and self-marketing considerations of these choices
2. Use your career heritage as a springboard/foundation for change
3. Research thoroughly to ensure a robust decision
4. Have a coach, mentor and/or personal Board
5. Do things ‘just in time’ in response to client interest/trends, rather than having everything in place – let go of perfectionism
6. Make time to plan, reflect and review regularly
7. Pre-network before becoming self-employed
8. Have a clear niche/specialism that you love
9. Choose the right not wrong associates – do due diligence re referrers – many have established referrer relationships already – don’t waste your time with the wrong ones
10. Think ‘out of the box’ with your marketing and networking. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money
