    Business Advice - Yeeeaaaahhh !!!!

    Since my grotty day last week when I saw a grotty business advisor, today I saw someone from Business Link - Excellent!!!

    He was very positive and said I could possibly get a grant towards the cost of a new sewing machine.

    Also had a storming day with sales - SOLD 3 !!! So we are going out for a pint tonight before I get tied to my machine all weekend.

        Well Done!

        Great news Helen!

        I'm glad your business link advisors could help you. They are very limited down here. I didn't get either help or decent advice last time I went to ours about by own stuff.

        Got to make another appointment and see if we can get advice about the craft fairs side of things now. Hopefully, I can get onto a business management course...although, I think Himself would be better at that.

        Well done you!

                Oh My God !!!!

                Just got home after one or two beers (and the rest) and I've sold another!!!

                Thank you all very much for the great support and encouragement. I've heard of "the power of positive thinking" and I'm sure with your help I'm really getting somewhere, especially after 3 years of post natal depression - but that's another story!

                Will update when I'm sober!

                      Well done, it's good to hear that there are some people out there that are willing to help, advise and support. Hope it comes up trumps and you do really well.

                            I'm glad you got some some advice from your Business Link advisor. It's given me hope for when I approach my local Business Link.

                            I hope I am as lucky as you have been. Well done too on your success, may it long continue !
