Those of you who know me will already be aware of my various money making ‘ventures’ or schemes as I like to call them. Given my interest in computers, a few years back I decided to begin providing computer sales/consultancy in my local area.
A few years later now and the business is looking pretty decent for something that I just run alongside my uni studies. I must say for anybody thinking about taking the plunge and going solo, its definitly a fairly relaxing way to live.
Over the past few weeks I have been working on the company website which you can find at www.glenscomputers.com or .co.uk. Although I am moving away soon, I recently used the company as part of a group project at uni. The basic outline of the project was to startup and run a company providing some sort of service to the public – the lesson to be learned is obviously how difficult it is to run a business.
The project was handed in today and I think should raise a few eyes with the kind of money earned for the small number of hours involved. For the few hours of work I do a week I end up making a considerable amount more than my friends doing part-time work in local shops, plus who knows what might happen in the future, as the constant success of the company means the size jobs are getting bigger and bigger.
