    I have to say Dr Shoe, your talk sounds a lot like that of many MLM schemes I've been tempted by in the past. Especially this bit "Incomes increase as more people join".

    And only 6 weeks in - perhaps a couple of years down the road you'll be wishing you had a bit more time, bit less stress. 6 weeks isn't enough for the lack of time/extra money novelty to wear off. We started off by running the business around a full time job and we're lucky enough to be full time self employed now, but we've been through some awkward patches where we had too much work to be sustained by two staff members, but not enough to take on a third.

    Starting your own business is not as easy as ABC and I'd be extremely wary of anyone who says it is.

    Self employed is not the same as owning a business. What happens to your income if you go on holiday?

    No one says that my business is easy, but you do get all the help you need and indeed, want!
