Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

Do, or not do. There is no try.Originally posted by icw View PostHi all,
I've been succesfully running as a ltd company for the past three years offering GoldMine CRM and HEAT (helpdesk) training, consultancy, support etc This has included basic SQL server administration, SQL views, Crystal Reports (from 8 to 11) Communicating with users and managers. managing small to medium rollout projects
I usually charge between £300 - £400 per day for this work and end up working about 12-16 days in the month (which has been fine for me)
Most of the work has been sub-contracting for resellers of the software. AS you can see it's a bit niche and has gone pretty quiet recently.
I'm thinking of going contracting in the new year. I 'm thinking initially to look at Data Analyst roles. Looking at my skill set is there anything else that stands out that might be worth looking at?
Also am i being unrealistic if i look for roles that pay around £250 - £275 per day?

Weak repost. You did ask a silly question duck - you gave no indication of your location, industry, willingness to travel etc. You can charge what you like; remember its your company; as to whether or not clients will pay it is another matter.Originally posted by icw View PostFAO Ruprect,
Listen Love,
I wasn't asking how much you earn per day!
