After 5 years of attempting to be the female version of Richard Branson in the language school world (please note the use of the word attempting!), I thought that the time had come to divulge into the lessons that I have learnt (both good and just plain awful), the people that I have met along the way, including a sprinkling of business partners and backpackers claiming to be language teachers and the mistakes that I have made in running not only a language school but a business in the German city which claims to be a “pearl” and have the longest street of prostitutes dressed in identical uniform within Europe.
Furthermore after reading countless articles and books on how exhilarating it is to be self-employed, I felt that the time had come to give a true account of the the real advantages and disadvantages, there are of leaving the rat race and joining the circus of self-employed.
Lesson 1: Becoming self-employed does not mean that you stop running.
PS: I am curious to hear what you have to say....
