Well done on taking the plunge Wallace, with all your talent I'm sure that you'd do well.

All the very best to you Wallace, redundancy was the push that took me to full time back in 2008 and I have never looked back. My very best piece of advice I can offer, boring it may be, is to get yourself a good accountant; every year I dread my accountants bill, but you have to consider it an investment in the business. I have just received an additional 7K from the tax dating back to 2008 so I consider the 500 euro well worth it.
Happy times ahead.
Les.

thank you so much everyone. Your feedback is so very inspiring. I know this is going to be hard, and I am so totally up for that. I think I made need to change accountants, wow that was a good investment Les! I feel confident about my work, I am getting more interest, so things do seem to be onwards and upwards. Really, I can't thank you enough for your advice and genuine support, it is really graciously received.

Well done Wallace, bit scary though. Best of luckin your new venture from both of us.

[Petal]

It is scary leaving the confines of office life, but I couldn't go back to it now and am happy being responsible for my successes and failures. I do miss my work friends, but the forum(s) are a good substitute.

I wish you all the very best in your new venture and think you'll be very successful in your new self-employed life Wallace - Congratulations.

[Wallace]

thank you so much, you are all so supportive, it has been a big step forward. It is a huge marketplace, but I want be part of it.

I may be around a little more, once the paid day job goes!

Now to dig out my NI stuff!
