Don’t feel guilty about arranging child care, especially in holidays; it will mean the time you spend together really is properly spent together so everyone’s happier
-
Franky tries to only work during the school day: the strict hours keep her focussed
-
Remember, you're not only networking at 'networking events, any time you meet someone could lead to work further down the line so first impressions count
-
Franky writes mainly within a niche of 'weddings', she did an internship within the industry and developed contacts

95% of her work comes via word of mouth
-
Don’t adopt other people’s goals - there’s more than one definition of success; find your own
