I get hundreds of emails every week from people looking for business help, financial support and sometimes just a friendly ear into which they can pour out their woes and frustrations.

If we're really going to ride the wave of business being the new rock'n'roll, then we need to get a few key people round a table and agree a more organised, seamless framework and structure to put the UK at the forefront of a truly entrepreneurial and dynamic business culture.

Its about entrepreneurs, but I think its pertinent for sole proprietors and infopreneurs. Shows like The Apprentice have popularized entrepreneurship.' Schools like Babson focus on teaching it.' But what about the average person who wants to start a SoLo practice from home?'
