earn enough money from my business so I don't have to return to paid employment

I resigned from my employment just over a month ago and it feels great!

I’ve just applied for – and been granted – a 12 month break from work so I don’t have to go back for another year! More time to get the business going well.

My team is growing and I’m finding more customers so things are looking up. When the children are back at school after the holidyas I really need to get out there and sell more! I’ve just received all my Christmas stock and need to get it shifted!

This isn’t going as well as I’d hoped. Business has been slow over the last couple of months for my team, so I havn’t had the income I would expect. Hopefully with the Christmas products coming out soon, things will start to pick up. I just have this horrible feeling I’ll end up back at work in a few months :-(

While I am on maternity leave I would love to build my business up so that I can earn enough each month and not go back to my paid employment. I’m due to return in November, so have around 10 months to increase my business.
