Hi all,
I've been wanting to do some beauty courses for a while now but have never had the time or money (the issue is mostly the latter) to do any. I'm thinking I would like to offer different beauty treatments and wedding packages on a mobile self employed basis, as a way of improving my income when it drops as I will be going part time at work after maternity leave.
The course itself will be every third weekend and runs for 9 months, and I will have homework to do. It will cost £95 a month, but I can defer payments for up to 5 months.
My concern is, I'm due to have a baby on 9th March, and the course starts on 25th march. My partners said he can look after her on the weekend I do the course. I'm just a bit concerned about how tired I'm going to be and what if I don't want to leave her? I'm also planning on breastfeeding, so I would have to be around for that.
I just feel like I now have this opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for about 2 years, and like its a now or never kind of thing. I would have liked to do it before I got pregnant to prepare myself and then I wouldn't have this dilemma. It would also be a great opportunity for me to meet new people as I don't know many people in my area.
Am I being too optimistic and unrealistic about this? The next course starts in September, but I'm planning to go back to work then part time. Also is it worth it? Am I likely to build up the client base that I need?
Thanks
