If you do decide to go ahead then keep in mind some of the advice and suggestions included in SYOB, and hopefully you will have a flourishing career running your own business.

I have been self-employed since 1996 and have experienced successful busy periods, but often took on more than I could reasonably manage, and I have also had quiet periods. What I learnt from the busy periods was that it was difficult to say ‘NO’ when a contract was offered to me and when overstretched often felt as though I wasn’t doing anything quite as well as I should, or could. It wasn’t fair on the customer, my family or me. I didn’t feel satisfied.
