Re: ever thought about or run your own business?
Am not sure if this counts - I did run my own business in the form of a retail outlet in Sydney for a very few years and when I moved down to Wollongong I invested in real estate for many years.Re: ever thought about or run your own business?
I had my own counselling practice for 12 years. I was registered as a soul trader but i did contract out some work when i was snowed under. I had a partner for a while . I started out in general practice but i ended up specialising in a couple of areas. It was a successful career but extremely stressful and i retired gradually over 5 years or so. Having your own business can be very exciting and also very stressful. Golden rule is have good supports and safety nets. DONT cut corners with insurances and look after yourself. Make sure you consult regularly with your association and have good contacts. And pay your tax!Re: ever thought about or run your own business?

One piece od advise I would give anyone thinking of running their own business is "watch your back". the number of people we had turning up before the date due back and demanding the money back for the days not used kennel space unbelieveable. so have a clear contract as to terms and conditions and give them a copy and get your copy signed.Re: ever thought about or run your own business?
I've been self employed since 2003, working for pharmaceutical companies in IT regulatory compliance, project management, business analysis and quality management. I love it, worked 100% from home the past 5 years and have a good lifestyle.
