Become Your Own Boss

The nine to five office grind isn’t the only way of working anymore. There are loads of other options if you want to rethink your working life. Self-employment’s one of them. It can give you a lot more flexibility and be financially rewarding too. But there’s a lot to think about when you’re working for yourself. As well as marketing yourself to clients, you have to take control of your tax and finances in a way that company employees just don’t need to To take you through all the pros and cons, Kia Commodore’s joined by Georgina Merckel. Georgina founded topa, a small business and non-profit consultancy. And in 2022 she won a Young Freelancer of the Year award.
