A few weeks after the divorce was finalised I had a dream and in it I was in prison. Somehow I knew that I could have been a warder on the outside helping those in the prison if I had done enough jobsearching. It was a bank holiday and I had nothing better to do so I tried my ususal means of job searching i.e. looking for places where I could send letters asking if they had a teaching job they could offer me. After a few hours writing out addresses I found something that made me really excited a course for people who had a business idea that they wanted to develop.
I had been making some jewellery and wanted to make that into a side business. All I needed to know was did I live in the right area. I did and I started the course a few days later. There were a further 3 or 4 intakes for that course but for one reason or another I never again met the criteria for joining it.
What I had not realised at the time was that this was a course that was of a high enough standard to allow me to teach business start up. Since then I have wandered around the online business space trying a number of different things and gaining a lot of valuable experience as a result.
