I am........Its very hard work.......possibly because i like to push myself though to make more £££££££££

Alot of people say being self employed is easy.......i completly disagree....however if you work hard it can be very rewarding.

The hardest part for me is that i sell machinery all over the world and because of this i have to have my phone with me 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year and be ready to help customers when needed whatever the time is.

Self employment if good if you have a good business hat.
