Due to the work I dyslexia work I do I work to the academic year. It been tough financially this summer. I seem to have done a lot of work developing ideas and moving forward with them. Doing a lot of free work through the Dyslexia Pathways web site and phone line. Also do attending meetings with the Preventative Spend committee, Goodison Group etc at the scottish parliament. But little paid work has come through.
Still I cannot complain I didn't start Dyslexia Pathways and do the entrepreneur thing to make a lot of money. Just to be able to support other dyslexics like I was supported and enable them to succeed is great.
Still the university work has started. I have four students for dyslexia support tomorrow. I love it when I meet new students and work with them. If I can see between 10 and 15 students per week from now on I will be happy.
Going to start investigating Crowd Funding as a possible means to take my app further and look at a couple of companies who develop apps to see if I can get them interested.
Might be lucky and get a mentor as well.
I must be daft I am going to start a new company which is not going to be a social enterprise but will have a dyslexia focus. I have a logo design and product designs and ideas to work with.
Being a dyslexia teacher / specialist entails a good deal of counselling work or at least it seems to for me. I would say as much as 30% in counselling. I do have counselling training but wanted to update my skills by starting a new course. Unfortunately I cannot at this time because of costs. Still I have added costs for training in one of the new funding bids I have made so here's hoping for success.
