Forget the glass ceiling – use the fire escape instead!

When, after 8 years, I decided to emerge from the security of a monthly salary I was met with the usual, “Are you sures and are you mads”

Thankfully, I didn’t listenj0443905

I felt that as Marketing Director of a company like Advantage Business Angels I was being held back.
My talent for thinking outside the box was not really required in a, dare I say it, formal, don’t do anything radical, don’t do anything crazy, institution like ABA.
I understood, we had to be seen as reliable, dependable, professional – in other words a bit stuffy, for people to take us seriously but it didn’t help me and my yearning to have my creativity unleashed!

My multi tasking skills are quite good, after all I am a woman, but even the most organised of people would struggle with a seriously demanding Managing Director, (sorry Neil), Magistrate’s duties, mothering duties, grandmothering duties and trying to run a business in my spare time duties.

So I did it – I’m now free – free to follow my dream to be an Internet marketing queen.
And I have just received my first official accolade – I am in the company of some fabulous ladies on The Forbes List of The 30 Women Entrepreneurs to follow on Twitter – I have made my mother so proud and I’m quite proud of myself as well.

  • My quick thoughts

    • "Success - To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded."
