Entrepreneur
I want to be my own boss, and be in control.
Frustrating - Delays in realising your vision caused by limited funding
Rewarding - Overhearing strangers on the tube chatting about your product. I love it!
Underestimating how much money they will need to make it happen.
I started my working career in computers (not sure my Cobol programming skills are much in demand any more tho. . . ) and have made the journey full circle.
In the interim I spent 5 years as a broker in the financial markets, middleman for interbank loans between major financial institutions. Believing I always knew better than the traders I was working for (I was only young!) I became an independent trader and spent 10 amazing years trading financial futures in Gibraltar.
I'm running the digital marketing for online fashion site SilkFred.
