The Obligatory "I'm Still Alive" Post _#

It's been a fair while since my last post. Various reasons come to mind but for me the biggest focus of the last six weeks has been my company, which has taken a far greater chunk of my attention in recent times.

While plenty of things have happened recently, I'm going to try focusing on my business as the basis for a series of new articles on this blog. I'm hoping to talk more about my experiences, ups and downs with the hope that this kind of writing will be useful to others.

The usual common-sense disclaimer applies: anything I write is personal, (usually) unqualified and should not be viewed as definitive. Simply take them as they are: anecdotal.

I'll be writing the first article real soon now, and you are actively encouraged to reply and give your own thoughts.

Going Solo, Leeds, UK _#

Good news. Going Solo - the "one-day educational conference for freelancers and small business owners" is open for registration. First 25 registrations get the special early-bird discount and pay just £150 (which by all accounts is going fast...).

I've been freelancing for about a year now, and running a small business for over six months. It's moving fast, and I'm enjoying learning a great deal from first-hand experience and others' stories. Going Solo looks like a great opportunity to get first-hand feedback from like-minded people. I'm hoping to get a lot from this event.
