How to set up your business

Do you have a keen eye for fashion, and in fact... it's quite normal for                         family and friends to call on you for style advice?

You may not feel comfortable to say this out loud, but secretly you often                                                         find yourself analysing the clothes people wear and making mental notes                                                   of what works and what doesn't work on them.... I see you (wink-wink).

 This is the perfect opportunity to empower yourself and become self-employed without spending years trying to find a job and create a decent life for yourself.  Learn how to set up and run a successful business
