I'm 45 this year and last year I did my first startup as a salaried employee. It failed when pretty much the number of customers we had when I started was the same when the plug was pulled.
However I've just gone back to consulting for 6 months to build a nest egg to begin my own start up in the summer.
BUT I know I can dip into consulting should it get tight. You seem to have got into the startup but forgotten how to keep yourself alive.
Being an observer, I would suggest you get yourself a consulting job pretty sharpish, let your partner continue full time and you contribute as you can in your evenings and weekends.
- bkessler100 12y agoCan you give any tips on how to find consulting fast enough when you are about to be evicted?
- awjr 12y agoBasically be immediately available for contract work and prepared to work anywhere. Setting up a company in the UK takes about an hour and a company bank account usually 1-2weeks. There are also umbrella companies. What I have found is that agencies will 'lend' against money. They want to keep you happy. So if you are in a situation they will help you out as you are making them money.
