It’s been a week now since Going Solo, and judging from immediate and more delayed feedback, it was clearly a success . I’ve been travelling a bit this last week (I’m now settled in Leeds until next Thursday) so I haven’t had as much online time as I thought I would — but all in all it’s not a bad thing as I need some time to recuperate.

A survey made with SurveyMonkey , which I found really easy to use, has been sent to all registered attendees. Most people have filled it in and I’m finding the feedback from the responses really interesting. If you haven’t sent in your responses, please do!

Experienced freelancers sharing some of their insights, and a place to take the time to think about our business skills.
It became clear at the event that there was extremely good interaction between participants, be they attendees, s...
more Self-Employment More Secure Than a Full-Time JobFrom: gsolo.wordpress.com

A quick quote sent to me by my friend Kevin Marks . To be honest, I’m too knackered right now to read the whole article , but it looks interesting:
