The Devil Wears Prada

Isn't funny how once you've done something, no matter how traumatic it was at the time, when you look back at it, so those rosy glasses make it seem so nice, and lovely! That's what I feel like when I think back about my old job. Watching The Devil wears Prada the other night, I sat there missing my old job; being driven round in chauffered cars, going to the latest restaurant in Hong Kong, and of course drinking lots of lovely bubbly! I need to give myself a mental kick, just to remember that was only a very small part, and most of the time was spent sat in 5 hour long meetings in a windowless room in Leicester, driving 110 miles a day, 5 days a week, and falling asleep every Friday night as I was so tired.
Since starting Ochre And Ocre, I've realised that having your own company is not all champagne and chauffeurs, but at least I can control my own time, go to the gym every day, and you reap the rewards of the effort you put in. So back to the old SEO, and stop day dreaming, I've got a company to grow!

My first post....

This is a blog about a change of lifestyle - giving up the glamorous job where I flew around the world Business Class, quaffing champagne, and treating myself because I was worth it! To starting a company in the worst recession that most can remember - working from home, and trying to become just a little bit greener...can I do it?
