Self Employment & Portfolio Careers

Have you thought about setting up your own business but have held back because you could not decide which route to go down?

Lots of ideas and options but not sure how you choose? Do you love variety and differing challenges? If so, a portfolio career could be for you!

 

What is a Portfolio Career?

• A portfolio career is where you derive income from a number of sources
• Self employed in a number of guises
• Perhaps a number of  part time jobs
• A job and a business i.e. mixture of employment and self employment
• Any combination of activities and skills

It could typically include periods of employment through short term contracts e.g. project work, temporary or interim work, part-time work perhaps combined with self employment, working from home and even voluntary work

What are the Benefits of a Portfolio Career? 

• Having a range of activities in your portfolio gives you security
• If one of them is less in demand there are always others to fall back on
• Great if you want to achieve more money, more freedom, more variety and more flexibility in your life
• Extends your contact network and gives you the opportunity to develop new skills
• Each piece of work you do adds to your portfolio of skills and experience which you can use to attract more work

Above all else - CHOICE!!!!!!!
