Hey there, fellow movement-making solopreneur.

You have endless purpose, bold ideas, and immense drive.

But are your big visions getting the traction they deserve, or are they getting lost in the daily grind?

You're in the right place for learning how to get focused and clear on what matters most (so you can change the world in the way only you can).

I officially registered my business in June 1988, and I chose today as the specific day( Happy TAV Creations Day🎉🎂). These dresses were made during the gestation period- while I was still in high school - spring 1985 and 1986!

Three couples no heads guys and suits and ladies and grad dresses. The long one on the left is a purple sheared full body sheath dress with a flared skirt at the bottom and lilac and white. The upper right corner is an ivory lace over a dusty rose satin ball gown, strapless with lace gloves to match. The bottom right corner is a teal satin bias, cut strapless dress with dropped waist and flared skirt.

Typical Monday: Can’t wait to get my hands in clay but must first get through the mountain of emails and other admin tasks. It all really piled up while I was traveling. How’s your Monday going so far?

New episode! ✨

How do self-employed conservators find clients? 🔎

Jenny, Solange, and Liz share some strategies, while listeners in private practitioners reveal what really works.

One of our most useful episodes ever, we reckon!

An illustration of Connie the conservator, a mixed heritage woman with long dark hair and a big smile, driving a white and purple electric micro-car down a street. Flyers are streaming out of her open car window and she’s got speakers on top of the car roof for advertising her services as a conservator!

I'm in a weird space at the moment because it looks a lot like I'll be retraining soon but I can't just wind down the business or start shifting my content yet because capitalism and I need to actually qualify (in 3+ years...).

Knowing how to organise my online life, especially regarding work at the moment is a nightmare.

Reposting this announcement about my website, now that I have my teeny tiny instance running on the Fediverse. It's also going to be the first image I post to this new instance :)

Every few years I try to rethink what it means to share my work online, and give the website a bit of a cut and polish. I always feel like I'm fighting gravity.

This week I've focused on the home page, and trying to make it easy for someone to find something they might be interested in. 25 years of work has gone into it, you'd hope there's a little treat for most folks hidden away in there.

Every year I get confused and need to think through this again, so I made this table. Hope it helps someone else!

#accounts #uk #tax #cheatSheet #selfEmployed

Screenshot of a table. The cells say what is due when, rows represent real world time, the columns are which year's accounts the thing belongs to.
In real world time:
This year, 6 April, the tax return can be prepared for last year's accounts
This year, June, Payment On Account (POA) 2 for last year is due
This year, Jan, the Balancing Payment is due for last year's accounts and POA 1 is due for this year's accounts.
Next year, 6 April the tax return can be prepared for this year's accounts
Next year, June, POA 2 for this year will be due
Next year, Jan, the Balancing Payment is due for this year's accounts will be due, along with POA 1 for next year's accounts.

Next topic is when you over-service your clients, and spend time they aren't paying for. But you want to to finish the job to a high standard, and you do the extra work anyway.

The older lad points out, we do this because we don't value ourselves enough. Not just our work, but we lack confidence in ourselves. Deep down. We keep trying to be high-achievers, or people-pleasers.

We try to please people, and we bust a gut in the process.

Older lad pointed out that his entire career he's made sure he takes holidays and spends a little time with his wife and kids. That's the top priority.

The young lad doesn't even take holidays. Which he's thinking maybe is a bit shit for his family and maybe he needs to rethink that.

Watching a video with two builders talking about the perils of being self-employed. And the toll it takes.

Sometimes it's nice just to hear two blokes sharing their experiences. I don't have enough of that in my life.

By which I mean that this is how the looks in spring—not that I work there only in springtime. I moved into my office in 2021. (I have been since 1995.)

Yesterday was such a long day at school with viewing and marking 2nd year final presentations that I crashed by 7pm on the couch after eating a somewhat healthy sort of supper. < Pizza and soup>

This morning a client who had rescheduled from the weekend arrived 30 minutes early, and BOTH HER DRESSES WENT!!! so yay.
Now I'm just contemplating my options while it is still only 30% chance of rain.
I think this calls for a bike ride.

One thing I am learning the hard way is that you only understand what employers genuinely expect of you when you take working for yourself seriously, and focus on making yourself accountable in that recursive interaction.

In the last few months, I have been bossing myself for the creation of a job matcher in Germany and I honestly feel like I finally understand how to operate honestly and fairly in a work environment.
