Reconnecting: reflections on self employment
It’s now just over six months since I left Edinburgh Napier University and made the switch to full-time self employment as Awdesign Digital. I have come to recognise the many benefits of being my own boss during this time, including:
- Flexibility: the ability to work whenever and wherever I choose (e.g. home, coffee shops, libraries and offices).
- Variety: no two days are the same, with different projects demanding different solutions (e.g. website development, graphic design or video production).
- Convenience: my daily commute has dropped from 70 miles to six feet!
