I have been a freelance trainer / coach & action learning facilitator for over twenty years & over this time Anne & I have had many in – depth discussions about our careers & why we choose the paths we do. I find self employment suits me well as I enjoy the freedom & control over what I do. Anne has always been more “ traditional” in her choice to work for an organisation but I agree with this article that at any time we can switch & choose a different path. However – running your own business can sometimes make it difficult to return to employment where other people make decisions & choices for you. I personally think Anne is making the right move at the right time for her & I know she will make a success if it. The only advice I would give her – is seek support in a well chosen mentor regarding managing your business as a freelancer, & be careful of taking on too much work as I am sure she will be well sought after. We all need a healthy work / life balance don’t we? Good Luck Anne Wilson!
