03JimmyRetired police officer
We joined the police for job security and I absolutely loved that job. Don’t wait till you’re thirsty to dig your well.
04HollyEstate agent
But I also knew I wanted to find a way to work without sacrificing the important times with my children. Eventually I started my own business which I now manage alongside a couple of volunteer roles that I do. This mix allows me to work around my family rather than the other way round.
05MikeDJ
It’s changed our life, we no longer work for all those hours. I’ve managed to cut back on that and I spend my time working my own hours now and building a lifestyle for our family.
JuswantIT, public sector
When I first looked at this, I thought this is a very good idea, but I wasn’t sure I could make it work for myself because I’d never done anything like this.
LeanneChildren’s home
When you got hurt at work or if you were sick they didn’t pay sick pay, so I needed to find something else.… It’s security for myself and security for my family.
NyimeIT support and computer repairs
You need to be willing to learn new skills and you need to be open-minded enough to give this a go.
StuartProperty investor
I got involved in this business in 2007 while building a property business and I nearly dismissed the idea before I properly understood it.
06GreggNHS project manager
I’ve got a family with three children and I do work full-time at the moment, and I squeeze this in the nooks and crannies of the day.
09JonBaker
I was working as a baker at Harrods, working 10 to 12 hours every day, out of the house for 60 to 80 hours a week.… I’ve built up a residual income that covers all my bills and gives me the time freedom to be able to look after mum.
11JamieLeisure centre manager
I used to help manage and run leisure centres, but alongside that, I used to also have a couple of part-time jobs.… I’ve been able to completely buy back my time and give up my other jobs, which means I’m able to be there for my children.
12KaiScaffolder
When I joined this business, it was simply just to get out of that. This business has offered me so much more than just that. It’s offered me amazing memories, it’s changed me as a person and it’s grown me so much over the last year.
