About Me
Hi, I’m Nick. I spent years in IT, sales, and management, until I realised I was done working for someone else. I wanted freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment. So I built my own business from scratch, and it changed my life.
Now, I help others do the same.
Through this site, I share everything I’ve learned to help you start smarter, avoid common mistakes, and build a business that works for you. Read more about me
