We’ve all been there – the office is full of men. With the testosterone and egos flying around, it’s difficult to carve a path as a woman. Not every guy is a chauvinistic pig, yet it’s hard for them not to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the workplace and revert to type. Sorry, no females allowed.

When you run a business, a big part of making it successful lies in the marketing. This is even more so the case when running a restaurant because, not only do you have to get the initial marketing to get customers in the door and know about your restaurant, but you then have to ensure that you have a marketing system in place to keep them coming back.

Business is an idea that’s often all consuming, and one that can wipe the gall out of you when times get rough; and times can get rough at least four times a year.

Stuck in an office, in a car, in a lift and then in a queue. These are things that normally happen to us in an average day of work. Some people can tolerate it and it's not an issue.

The trouble is, not all relationships are as good as they appear. Behind closed doors, every couple argues. It may be that you’ve had to compromise on how often you post to keep Instagram happy. Perhaps they’ve had to start putting you before their other users. Either way, you thought you’d worked through issues. That is until you notice that you’re losing subscribers every time you post.

Our working situation can get us down from time to time. Either it's not the career we envisioned, or there's just too much drama in the office. Whatever the situation you're in, we've all fantasized about creating our own path in life. Starting our own business is freeing in so many ways. And while the temptation can be for you to leap straight into this, transitioning from a full-time worker to a full-time business owner requires a few essentials.
