Description
This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from accountant and business consultant Caroline Boardman. She says:“How is everyone getting back out into the real world?Obviously everyone feels differently about this — some of us can't wait for more face to face client meetings and networking events, some have enjoyed the online world and Zoom and comfort of own homes...How is everyone managing the transition back to reality? Slow and steady or 100 miles an hour back into it?”What would your advice be?

When people seem to think your job is a "hobby": This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Jo Breeze. Jo is a crowdfunding consultant and writer, she says: “My work makes a genuine contribution to paying the bills in our house. It’s not quite 50/50 but some months it’s pretty close. But when I tell people what I do, I sometimes find there’s an assumption that it’s a hobby that I’ve taken on to keep me busy (HAAA) around children. I feel especially awkward when people tell me about their wife or their friend who’s ‘self-employed like you’ when it turns out what they mean is sells things on eBay sometimes, or similar. How do I assert that actually my job is a ‘real’ job, without doing down the choices of other women?” by Doing It For The Kids
