I'm self employed and considering how to go back to work now my DD is almost a year. I've worked really hard to get where I am and don't want that effort to go to waste - I'm ambitious too and would love to have my own business. However, I'm also conscious about taking too much on and want to do right by my DD.
Financially we can make it without my salary but mentally I think zero work would kill my soul! I'm looking at the options of home working, office based part time contracts or being employed by someone else. I'm also thinking that not trying to achieve my potential would be such a waste of my mums own efforts with me!
Anyone care to share their experiences as to how they worked out the best for them and then made it happen? I'm thinking more about personal ambitions and children.
