This project has been the most rewarding in terms of reassesing how far I have come and how much I have achieved since I started my Diploma.
By reveiwing my work over the last 5 projects I realise how many contacts, skills and networks I have built up since the begining of my Diploma.
This project has taken the longest to build as it brings a lot of subjects together under one umbrella and required a lot more research and soul searching.
I have had to pace myself and not get to excited about including all the skills that I have acquired from the previous projects and utilize them all in the business at once, be realistic about not taking on to much at one time.This is one of the reasons that some of the other projects have overwelmed me at times.
I have looked to my strengths to support me in the business and include people who are skilled in what they do in the ones that are my weekeness, and whom I can learn from as I go along,an apprentiship.
This project has pushed some major boundries for me, bringing in a regular income being one of them. I have spent most of my working life in regular employment so this is the first time I have ventured into a different way of meeting my materal needs.
I have found the process very liberating, I am now in control of how I bring in money, also proving that I can meet many of my needs through skill swaps and working parties.
Project
This project has shown me that I can achieve anything I set my mind to, by researching ways to meet my material needs and also bring in some money, I have opened my life up to different concepts and directions to change not only my life style but help others to change theirs as well.
The business will be build slowly incorperating three seperate stages to allow me time to establish each one, although research is ongoing and has been since the begining of project 2, especialy in Co writting courses.
With this in mind this project is ongoing and is still building and evolving so I can only show you what has happened up to this point.
The main part of the business was launched in September 2012 and has grown slowly giving me time to evaualte each part of it.
Professional
