As a newbie to this great site I have recommended it to many. Apart from doing what it should i.e. be informative and sharing, it also has personality. We can have a laugh, congratulate each other and most importantly be genuine.

I plan on being an active contributor and help to keep up the good work that the regs have done.

Thanks Flying Soloists.

Cheers,

Wow, thanks Burgo for picking this thread up again and everyone for such brilliant posts.

Trish, at 119 posts and counting 'newbie' might be a short-lived label

I just checked the original date of this original thread, and it was exactly a year ago tomorrow!

We were looking for community involvement and contributions, and well over 20,000 posts later in the past 21 months we're blown away by how much you have all embraced the conversation.

We're always working to improve and develop things around here so as Burgo says keep the inspiration coming.

Thanks to you all!
From us all.

Hello everyone,

I've been a member of flying solo for a few months now and thought I'd join a forum so I could get other people's ideas and help with starting a business.

I haven't a business of my own as of yet but have heaps of ideas. I haven't done any courses yet but when I hopefully get some cash will start. I'm trying to start something that doesn't cost much such as a service I can offer. I can think of about 3 different ones but wondering if it's a good idea to offer them all at once and which one becomes most popular I will go with.

I'm thinking of proofreading/typing, clothing alterations and dog grooming (I have 2 poodles and would love too do them myself) just need to do a course and buy some good clippers.

Anyway I hope I can get some inspiration and ideas by joining a forum and take the plunge hopefully soon.

Donnalee

Hello,

From what I've read of the forum so far (having only joined on Thursday, it isn't much), the people are open and seem quite friendly!

I'm still not sure what I can add, but I know this, in my short time here, I've learnt some things!!

I guess I'll keep reading and hopefully somewhere along the line I'll be able to add my 2 cents worth!

Thanks!

Trish

Hi Sam et al

I've been a member here for seven months or so (since the day before I walked out of my senior management role in the public sector), but have only posted spasmodicaly since then.

Just recently I upgraded to business class and thought I'd tell people why I did that.

Flying Solo, through referrals and people seeing my posts and comments, has led to three ongpoing clients - in a relatively short space of time, and with very few posts. So it seemed time to pay my dues and say "thanks".

Cheers

Nicole

I think for me is the honesty. People ask for feedback or help and get an honest one with the aded bonus of free advice. Nobody is asking "what's in it for me?" when they freely give advice and help.

I have also met some wonderful people from the forum at meet-ups and hope to continue to be part of this exciting and informative group of soloists.
