Starting your own business
We talked to four people who gave up working for somebody else and started their own
business
A Beautician
I had to rethink my future when the multi-national company I worked for as a marketing
executive decided to move my job to the USA. My life back then, wearing designer clothes
and taking regular long-haul flights, couldn’t be more different from today. Well, I wanted a
job where I’d have the chance to interact with people more, and saw a gap in the market for a
beauty salon locally. Working for yourself is great as you can make your own mind up about
things and you aren’t driven by someone else about when and how you do that. But the

3
flipside is that there’s nobody to share the burden with when you wake up in the middle of the
night worrying about how you’re going to pay the rent. But I have no regrets.
B Gym owner
After seventeen years working in banking, I wanted to try something totally different. A
business that used a combination of my financial, sporting and parenting experience, but
which didn’t involve such long exhausting hours at the office appealed to me a great deal. I
came across the concept behind The Little Gym by accident when I was surfing the Internet.
It’s a novel concept that had gone down really well in the USA. It caters for children from four
months to twelve years, giving them good-quality physical instruction and a cerebral work-out
at the same time. Having control of my own life is a definite high, as is seeing my staff doing a
good job. Every day is different, so it’s never boring.
C Caterer
I worked for a big international company, but was no longer finding it rewarding. I’d
completed twenty years’ service, so I had some money saved up, but not enough to retire on.
But I took six months off and we went to stay with my wife’s family in Spain. It was a good
opportunity to ponder the question: ‘What next?’ That’s when we got the idea for Tapas in a
Box. We were in a bar eating the local Spanish food called ‘tapas’ and I thought: ‘This would
be perfect for people back home who want to have a great, relaxed time with friends, without
spending ages cooking.’ The challenge was then to work out how to deliver the mix of foods
all at once, because tapas includes things like raw almonds and chilled cheeses as well as the
hot things that need heating in an oven. Once we’d cracked that, we were up and running. I
can’t stress too much the thrill you feel when a customer tells you they’ve had a great time.
The sense of having gone from a new idea to actually delivering something good is very
motivating.
D Virtual PA
I’d been a secretary and personal assistant (PA) for twenty years and had begun to dread the
thought that I’d be at the same desk until I retired. When the company announced that its
European office was to close, I could’ve taken a drop in salary and found another job locally,
but decided to set up my own business instead. I got my idea because, in effect, I’d been a
virtual PA all along. My boss was usually only in the office a couple of days a month, so we’d
always worked remotely by email and phone calls. I thought I could offer a similar service to
other busy people. Now I’ve got all sorts of regular clients, including surveyors, solicitors, an
advertising agency and even an author. I never expected such a mix. I can’t wait to see what
challenges lie in store for me.

Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
Wood has long been a popular building material in North America because it has generally
been plentiful and cheap. Swedish settlers in Delaware built log cabins as early as 1630s. In
New England, British colonists built wooden ‘saltbox houses’. Most of the wooden homes of
Colonial times could be built with simple tools and minimal skills.
In the early 19th century, the standard wooden house was built with beams set into heavy
posts and held together with wooden pegs. This method of construction was time – consuming
and required highly skilled workers with special tools. The balloon – frame house, invented in
1833 in Chicago by a carpenter from Hartford. Connecticut, used a frame of lightweight
lumber, mostly 2´4 and 2´6 inches. This type of house could be assembled by any careful
worker who could saw in a straight line and drive a nail.
This revolution in building was made possible by improved sawmills that could quickly cut
boards to standard sizes and the lower cost of lumber that resulted. There were also new
machines that could produce huge quantities of inexpensive nails. Skeptics predicted that a
strong wind could send such houses flying through the air like balloons and, at first ‘balloon
frame’ was a term of derision. But the light frames proved practical, and wooden houses have
been basically built this way ever since.
