I was a contract bookkeeper until May this year, now I am full time buying, reno, selling apartments and mum of a 5 & 13 yr old (I have time now to do the school stuff - canteen etc). just banked the proceeds from my 1st, 2nd one starts in 2 weeks & the 3rd one is on hold to next year. May squeeze another in B4 no.3. Hubby has his own airconditioning firm. and a debt tolerance of 5%..slowly, slowly with him.

I have an electrical background and have been in the Facilities Management industry for over five years now. For those who don't know what FM is... it is looking after the maintenance, breakdowns and compliance of buildings. I have a national role with much of my responsibility being the review of buildings, lifecycle planning and major upgrade project management.
My lovely other half Skater, used to be in banking and we have worked together in our own businesses. At present she managers our finances, does a little charity work a couple of mornings each week, and works part-time.

Look a few others, I am an IT consultant working on a HR Payroll system called. SAP. Like those in IT, I am also looking at getting into full time investing/share trading (or something else) sometime in the next couple of years. But I have been saying that for a while now, it's difficult to do when the job isn't all that bad and the pay is very very good 
I have my own small business. I employ myself, which gives me a bit of flexibility incomewise.
I am planning to turn the business into a small passive cashflow, by selling the actual business and then leasing the freehold premises to the new owner.
Then I will turn to more investing. Buy ,cosmetic reno, develop larger infill blocks, build, sell some and keep some.
My supportive wife works part time as a theatre nurse.

I'm 21 years old and a car salesman .... and part time barman. I take care of our internet enquiries which gives me a chance to sneak on here every so often. My girlfriend is a fourth year hairdressing apprentice. We bought our first property 18 months ago and settled on a block of land last week.

Hello all,

The Product Development Dept. get requests from Commercial businesses asking for specific color carpets or range of colors.
They give me these color orders and I take flat untwisted yarn ,with about 500 different colors to pick from, and twist differnet combinations of colors on a machine called a volkmann.
This yarn is then sent to the next dept. and tufted into a carpet.
If the sample carpets are to the liking of the customer, we get a large order and my co workers do what I have done but only on a larger scale.
I may make about 12 lbs , but they will make about 70,000 lbs.

I'm not embarrassed mate... We salespeople get a bad reputation from a minority in the industry. I love my job and like to think I'm one of the good guys
