Starting a business – Freight Forwarder
17-12-2021
Not many people I know have their own business – those that do would often say to follow your dreams not someone else’s.
Falling into the world of shipping from school.
I have never had a problem getting a job – with a smile and willingness to learn.
I moved through the world of employment easily.
This was until I became pregnant with my first daughter and received biggest revelation as a woman in a very male world ….
I would never move any higher within my career if I also wanted a family!.
Employment became frustrating from this point as I struggled to find part time jobs within the world of shipping I loved so much.
I found companies didn’t feel I was loyal due to the building of my family.
I myself had very few sick days, but with each childhood illness my daughter suffered the attitude of loyalty became a bigger issue within work.
Trying to balance family and work so found part time jobs in various areas outside of the shipping world.
This I have realised has positively extended my skill base.
For many years I planned my business.
Written business plan after business plan – revising and updating.
With two children I found myself working a job that didn’t fulfil me, paying bills and going from one month to the other.
Realising I had been holding myself back, not wanting to stand out!
So the start of my lifelong plan of my business ……..
The plan/s were there already so I started the gruelling process of finding out how to form a company.
So October 2018 I established as Export Plus.
(The name I had always wanted to use for about 15 years and it was available!)
I was elated, I started the ball rolling set up a business banking account.
I found an investor and had a great meeting where I proposed my plan, secured office space and even got email accounts set up, everything seemed to be going great, I was good to go…..
To be continued ………..
