Thank you! You've all given me something to think about, forums are much better than self-help books haha!
I'm usually sceptical about these books as well but sometimes it's worth to read the whole lot just for the one sentence that can helpful. The WHY one was already recommended to me and I...
Thanks for the input! I have the Simon Sinek book (Start with WHY) but I haven't read it yet, I guess I will have to now and think about it hard haha! :)
I'm obviously doing the reassessing right now, I'm about to diversify the product range and the materials etc. and deep down I do have faith...
I think this is going to be a bit of a ramble and I'm sorry. I'm not sure what kind of advice I need, probably just about resilience and dealing with bad days?
I'm a small-scale maker of textile homewares and I've been doing this for about a year and a half. I've been growing it very slowly...
Thanks for this, it's good to know they aren't as bad as I was told ("guilty until proven innocent" haha). It's a bit anxiety inducing this wait with the house move, we're still waiting for our mortgage and I'm scared to do anything that could affect our application. But it's good to know that...

Thanks! I remember seeing this page before but I couldn't find it again. This bit:
you earned more than £1,000 from self-employment between 6 April 2019 and 5 April 2020
I presume the deadline for this is 31st January, right? As I only started trading in August 2020, this does not apply to...
That's helpful, thank you. I didn't know about the 18th months. I'm a bit confused though - I was told today (by an accountant, not hired, just at a general information call), that if I register later than April this year, and HMRC will see that I was trading since August 2020, I could get...
Hi, I'm sorry if you've seen this question a billion times before - I searched through the forums before signing up but I haven't found a similar one recently so I hope it's OK to ask this here.
I started a tiny hobby business while on furlough in August last year. I have not yet registered...
