I have a number of large clients, the biggest of which is currently EIGroup, based in Reigate. The pay is great, but it does involve spending a good 10 - 20 hours a week working on their projects.

Whilst this is great, and the money really helps towards the mortgage, I'm trying to build up my new business, the "So Easy Brand". 

So I've made a decisions, to park the Reigate client for a few months and focus purely on the new business. Some might this this is a stupid move, giving up some guaranteed cash, but I really need to build up the new business, so I'm a believer in "Fortune favours the brave".

I've effectively got about 6 months of cash to survive on, so over the course of the next few months, I'll be documenting my work progress, and hopefully it will end with a successful business.

There's no turning back, but it is slightly worrying.

I now have two businesses:

Foxwood Design:  Which has a income of £450 per month from various clients

So Easy Design: Currently has an income of £100 per month

My total outgoings (personal and business combined)  is £3520... Leaving me a monthly shortfall of around £3k...

Basically, I need to get my arse in gear and start building up the business..

Tick tock, I have about 5 months before I run out of money completely.

Wish me luck
