Terry Jenkins

I am a father of 4 adult kids, living with my partner Andie and her teenage son, in the north-east of England.

I am a full-time carer for Andie, and, at the time of starting this journey (September 2020), living off government benefits. As I have to care for Andie throughout the day, I no time for a day job.

Having gained experience of caring for her for a couple of years now, I feel the time is right for me to venture back into the world of self-employment and see if I can ease the government of the burden of looking after us.

Having run a myriad of self-employed ventures and having 25 years of experience in the IT industry (plus I have also lectured in IT for a brief period in the not-so-distant past), being on benefits doesn’t come easy to me.

So I got to thinking that maybe I could start earning some cash. Having worked all my life being on benefits just doesn't sit right with me, plus I am not one for just sitting around and relaxing.

Well, it was obvious that I couldn’t do anything that took me out of the house and the ad hoc nature of my caring duties meant I couldn’t really have clients. So my only option was to build a business making money online.

My goals aren’t massive. I did want to replace the income we are getting on benefits, plus a little extra to make life more comfortable (for Andie mainly).

So I set myself 2 goals.

You see, I am 60 in October 2021, so I have roughly 13 months before I start to get the pensions I built up when I was younger.

So my first goal was to ensure the business wasn't draining our finances by the end of 2020. The second goal was to be earning around £2300 per month (around $3000) by October 2021.

Allowing 1 month (September 2020) to get everything in place to start the business, meant these targets nicely fitted the 90-day and 12-month time slots.

So, do you want to follow in my footsteps?

You can just observe from afar by dropping in occasionally or signing up to get on my email list.

Or, if you are feeling particularly brave, you can go one step further and join my journey. My intention is to have some pretty affordable membership websites available to teach you the steps I am taking, inform you of the products I am purchasing, and how I intend to use them.

So, are you up for it?

If so, get on the mailing list and I will keep you informed of my journey step by step.

It will be a wild journey, but you are more than welcome to join my friend. I look forward to sharing, guiding, and teaching you more over the coming months.
