I Advice - It's the Freedom that Counts
After you've attended a job interview, sending a brief interview follow up letter or (follow up email if appropriate) is a great idea.Not only does it show the company you are interested in the position and are a professional person, it can help to keep you top of mind in the eyes of the hiring manager who may have interviewed many people for the position.
When finally I was in the position I felt I needed to make the break and start my business I decided to start consultanting. Advising and helping business owners and managers on how to grow their businesses and in some cases take their personal lives in another direction. This became the most satisfying period of my career.

It’s an absolute necessity whatever business your in, the right company image is vital if your business is to develop, grow and reach its full potential.At good graphic design companies aim is to help businesses of all sizes get their message across with professional, high-quality, cost-effective, creative graphic desi
When mulling over why I am such an advocate of people working in your own business in some form I ranged over the options.
Is it?
1. Wanting
To be rich?
A better lifestyle?
More time with your family and friends?
More time for sports and recreation?
2. Or a need to
Fulfil a long held ambition?
Create a product from your world beating idea?
Create something which will be your legacy to - your family, your community, mankind?
Express your creative talents?
Create income?
3. Is it?
Break from employment?
No more 9-5?
Relief from boredom?
A general desire to be less tied?
I have been thinking this over because I have come to realise that what seems so compelling to me may not generate the same compunction in others. This means it will be different for most people so I needed to be clearer on my own motivation.
Having risen to the top in the corporate world I led a management buy out. When we were finally on our own I was staggered how much more creative time we had to devote to running and developing the newly acquired business. At last freedom from meetings, reporting, politics and in some instances freedom from unpleasant people..
Later, after we sold the business I decided to move to another group of businesses and got embroiled in corporate politics again. It was at this stage that I started plotting my escape realizing for me it's the freedom that counts..

Imagine This! I am going to have to ask you to use your imagination a bit. Picture a middle-aged male, 6 feet tall, long, wavy blond hair, about 185lbs. Now for the fun part, he is dressed in a yellow tutu, a tiara adorns his head; he has a magic wand in one hand, a megaphone in the other and a toothbrush in his mouth.For the record, the picture yo

As you know by now, if you have been a long time subscriber to our weekly E-zine, I'm a very big proponent of activity, labor and discipline. In fact I devoted one of the five major pieces to the life puzzle (in my book under the same name) to the subject of activity and labor. But now let me add another key word to the labor equation - skillful. Yes, skillful labor.

Ever wonder why so many customer service strategies are either short-lived or fail before they even get started? I mean think about it: how many companies do you patronize where you consistently (the operative word here is “consistently") receive a positive and memorable buying experience?The type of buying experience that you’ll remember and influences you to

There are two sides to optimal performance. One side deals with structures, processes and procedures, tools and measurement. This side deals with management of "hard" objective data: facts, figures, charts, etc. that can be examined and "seen."The other side of optimal performance has to do with attitude, creativity, commitment, buy-in and self-discipline.

Advising and helping business owners and managers on how to grow their businesses and in some cases take their personal lives in another direction. This became the most satisfying period of my career.
So the question is why? Well, having thought about it I do believe in my case it's the freedom that counts.
Freedom to;
Be my own boss.
Work only with those I wish to help.
Set my own rates of pay.
Work only when it suits me.
Pursue potentially profitable ideas when I wish.
Go where I like when I like.
Take my holidays at times to suit me with out having to go back to the company, which once happened.
Avoid any politics.
Learn new skills and pursue what interests me.
I could go on but I am sure that you see why to me it's the freedom that counts, because from the above list almost anything else you may want to do will flow.
If you are thinking of taking the plunge be sure you know what your real motives are. Do it positively so that the freedom counts.
