So many clients state they want to be self-employed to stop working for other people and have a better work-life-balance. Sadly it is not as easy as it may seem, but if you can do it, life is amazing. Do you have any examples of success in your small business journey?

So after all my hard work emailing, and going out to businesses I finally got my first client tomorrow working with the Mansfield housing department doing a half day scan for them. I am so happy can't express how I feel to be honest all this hard work and stress has paid off. This will be the first of many clients going forward. Tomorrow I will be putting my best foot forward and doing the best work I have ever done in my life. Thank you to everyone who had given me advice in the group it all was extremely valuable getting me to the moment.
