I hadn’t always dreamt of becoming a recruitment consultant, it was a job I fell into at the age of 24 and it turned out I was quite good at it!

One evening, over the dinner table, I discussed the possibilities of starting my own business. After balancing the pro’s and con’s, my husband said ‘give it a go and see what happens’ and since this, I have made a few decisions based on that quote!

Self employment isn't always plain sailing, a big learning curve was managing a work/life balance. Self employment isn’t 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri unfortunately, be prepared for long unsociable hours! Organization is key to make sure you enjoy your work and home life.

I have a young family and I’m grateful to be able to organize my time around picking them up from creche, something which wouldn’t be possible if I was in a 9am-5pm job. The best thing about being my own boss is the flexibility and the great sense of achievement seeing that hard work is paying off.
