As some people here are already aware, I've been engaged in a process of removing my skills from my employer. Today is the first day of freedom - and it's a very weird feeling.

From now on, I'm taking full control & responsibility for my own work. Training and development are my problem. I'll get customer-facing work, travel when it's appropriate and no intermediaries befuddling communication (well, it'll happen occasionally but it won't be the norm!).

Part of this will hinge around jewellery - I'll be making more of my own work, but I'm now available to take on stone setting and laser work for other jewellers (I've decided I enjoy the problem solving of repairs that no-one sane will even look at). I'll be offering other skills for hire later (might be a slightly weird mix though).

There will also be software-related work going on; I have more time for development of CAD plug-ins (Rhino) and Android app work, so I'll be keeping my hand in on that too.

Should be interesting :)

Good luck with all of that Peter, it must be a relief to at last be free of all the work hassle, liberating and terrifying at the same time.

Best of luck Peter, I am sure that you will be a success at whatever you turn your hand to.

Good luck Peter - looking forward to hiring you to show me how to use a PUK welder at some point in the (probably very distant) future ;)

Good luck with it Peter. I can already vouch for your stone setting skills. Becoming self employed was the best thing I ever did.

Good luck Peter!!

Having come from the quagmires of being employed and a very slow detachment,....the freedom (along with the hard work, concerns and anxieties) of being self-employed are fantastic, I would never go back!!

Well done Peter for taking the leap of faith. When I was made redundant, I was initially devastated but this is the best decision I have made in many a year and you can bet I had fun investing the redundancy...
