build your team

Many of us self employed guys and gals work alone, which of course can be what draws us to this way of working in the first place. On the whole I love it, I get to listen to my music, dance around the kitchen with no-one watching, laugh at my own jokes! but sometimes you need a team, you need to bounce ideas off someone else, get fresh eyes on a project, or simply just have a good old moan about the rubbish parts of your job. Slowly over the last 9 months I feel like I’ve found a great little team of girls that not only inspire me everyday, but also understand the struggles that being self employed brings. I’m so lucky to have their expert input into areas that aren’t my strong points and hopefully I’m able to give them an insight into areas that aren’t theirs, and above all else when we all put our skills together we create some bloody awesome work!
