shifting to self-employment for senior professional women
You are not alone.
If you feel that your current work is an endless grind,
your co-workers or boss aren't respecting you, or
your prospects of advancement are being held back
you may want to consider shifting to self employment.
More so, if close to retirement or being offered a redundancy package.
Making the shift by yourself is often hard because those around you
don't often understand why you want to do such a brave thing.
Or maybe you are just feeling stuck and
need some helpful advice about how best to explore your options.
I may be able to help.

Nigel has been an enormous help to me in setting up my business. He is across so many aspects of running a small business, but especially the marketing. He is very knowledgable and thoughtful in recommending strategies to build a client base and gain momentum. This includes advising on what's worth spending money on, and what isn't. And he's very personable. Highly recommended.
