Fabulous road show today! It was so good to meet in person all the wonderful contacts I’ve made on here and online. Many thanks to all for the hard work, planning and creativity that went into today. I can’t wait for the next one 😀

A really interesting post, Simon. I think it’s largely down to chemistry on the day and offering a variety of opportunities (as you already do). I might go to a speaker event if I found that the speaker/subject was someone of interest to me. Ideally a mix of free and paid-for events would be good for any business owner who’s watching the…

@signal-emma Oops just tried replying and it disappeared. I’m still gradually moving things forward. Finally had a meeting on Friday with someone I first made contact with last November. Another potential collaborator for my leads list 🙂

I agree with you Simon, leading a successful group is about creating that energy that moves everything forward. But it will obviously ebb and flow, and sometimes there will be sticking points. I think a good leader definitely creates and environment where others are confident that they can bring their own energy. There’s also a skill in…

Exciting win there, Claire – well done. What a feeling!

Good question, Simon. I work remotely, from my home/office, unless a client wants me to work from theirs. I think face-to-face meetings are important. I also think, when doing contract or fractional work, that it’s important to connect properly with your colleagues, so some in-person days and/or meetings are essential. However, depending on…

@sl007 I think it was a mixture of things, Simon. The financial landscape was different (this was just pre the 2008 financial crash). Organisations of all kinds were working with freelancers and consultants. For example, local authorities were more naive about PR/marketing and more likely to use contractors. I think it was as much about… Read more

Mine was probably the realisation that I could (and did) keep everything going and make a life for my son and me after my divorce. Being the sole provider actually made me try even harder to make my business work. I surprised myself with several months of a turnover that I previously hadn’t dreamt of. Obviously that kind of thing doesn’t last,…

Morning Josephine. I agree – it’s tough. My situation when I set up my own business was slightly different from yours – at least my (then) husband and I both worked during the daytime. But I also started studying for an OU degree at the same time, so when I wasn’t working, I was ‘working’! There is no perfect recipe… particularly in the…

Morning Simon and everyone. I think finding new customers is my biggest challenge right now. If you’re in business long enough, there will be ‘churn’ of long-term customers and this happened to me last year, leaving a significant gap. It’s a difficult marketplace out there, which doesn’t make it any easier. Admin also takes a lot of time…
