</p><p>Welcome to MicroBusinessEntrepreneur. My name&#8217;s <a title="Kevin Partner's About Me page" href="http://www.kevinpartner.co.uk" target="_blank">Kevin Partner</a> and I&#8217;m probably best known as a serial entrepreneur and PC Pro Magazine&#8217;s Contributing Editor for Online Business.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been running &#8220;micro&#8221; (1 or 2 person) businesses for more than a decade and I <strong>know</strong> what it&#8217;s like to be juggling SO many balls. I left a secure job, took a pay cut and have had plenty of ups and downs since 1999 but I would never go back to serve under the corporate yoke.</p>

<p>Need a new/revised small business website? -&gt; <a href="http://www.microbusinessentrepreneur.co.uk/web-development-and-hosting">SPECIAL OFFER FOR READERS OF PC PRO</a></p>
<p>There is a true sense of freedom and independence in being the boss of your own small company(s)  and such businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy (did you know that <strong>75%</strong> of <strong>all</strong> businesses are micro businesses?). There are challenges, problems and bear-traps to be negotiated and this blog is my attempt to help you avoid the pitfalls and make a success of your business.</p>
<p>This blog is about <strong>real business life</strong>. It is unsanitised, straight from the horse&#8217;s mouth and opinionated. Much of what I believe flies in the face of conventional wisdom but it&#8217;s born out of experience and from the heart. Make of it what you will.</p>
