That is superb! You have good right to be proudOriginally posted by NotAllThere View PostNo. First invoice. Do you need new glasses?
He teaches piano to various students, including his younger sister. We've agreed to pay him the same rate he charges his other students. He's set himself up now as a sole trader, and started issuing invoices. What contracting parent wouldn't be proud of that?
