For immediate release:

/prbuzz/ -- Recent reports by telecoms giant, Vodafone, say more women than men are looking to become self-employed and that a third of the UK’s workforce aims to start businesses by the year 2011. Up to 12% of UK adults have set up on their own, with 6% in the process, and 1 out of 3 people considering it. Key factors influencing this trend are: the desire for flexible working hours and rising costs of living. Many people today are also dissatisfied with the gruelling 9-5 routine and are eager to make a living doing what they enjoy.

For all those who wish to go down this resourceful route, a new website www.creativityandsense.com has come to the rescue. Founded by inspirational writer and speaker, Ọgọ Ọgbata, the site offers a variety of resources designed to help people discover, develop and leverage their many talents. “There’s got to be more to life than working 9 to 5 and paying the bills,” Ọgọ says, “we offer guidance and support to those who dare to find and fulfil their life’s purpose- whether that means advancing in the corporate world, setting up a small business or answering an artistic calling. Our site is also unique because it offers the practical tools needed to balance creativity with sense- all in a one stop shop. For instance, many freelancers need reliable accountants to assist with tax matters and writers who wish to protect their intellectual property need legal counsel before signing contracts. Talent is not enough. For optimal results, Creativity must be balanced with Business Sense.”

www.creativityandsense.com is the number one destination for those who want to make a living doing what they love. It defines ‘making a living’ as more than just ‘making money’ focusing as well on the lifestyle issues that affect the working population e.g. ‘balancing family and career responsibilities’. Sleekly designed, the website reeks of quality. Eye catching graphics are used judiciously and a variety of well written articles are on hand. More importantly, so are the following bespoke services:

Motivation- Via top notch e-books, audio downloads/CDs a free newsletter and an online community. Self discoverers should look out for a new release titled ‘How to Find Your Hidden Talents- a step by step guide to a happier and more dynamic you’.

Specialist Coaching- www.creativityandsense.com offers motivation, guidance and support to creative individuals and budding entrepreneurs alike. One on one programs help individuals explore their essence (hidden talents, life skills, interests etc) and create extra income streams by doing things they genuinely enjoy. As most New Year resolutions don’t work, people who want to get anything done need a support system that holds them accountable.

Copywriting- The site recognises that many people have wonderful ideas but find it difficult to express those ideas to their desired target audience. The site specialises in writing general interest/lifestyle articles, direct marketing literature e.g. sales letters with a specific call to action, speeches for individuals, businesses and non-governmental organisations as well as press releases and profiles. A copyediting service is also offered at reasonable cost. Samples of work done -for satisfied clients of course- are available on the site. Prospective customers can also ring +44 7952555751 for more information.

Accountancy & Legal - Many freelancers and small business owners either stress out over tax returns or fail to take full advantage of deductions. www.creativityandsense.com helps freelancers and small business owners manage their finances more efficiently. Their team of accountants and business consultants have individually worked with world class companies such as Barclays, Thames Water and Thomas Cook for years. A similar service is on offer to freelancers and smaller businesses at competitive cost.

A panel of lawyers also offer legal help to employees, companies who need guidance on how to manage their staff within the boundaries of legislature and freelancers/self employed persons who feel defenceless against difficult clients and contractors.

Work should be fun. UK residents work the longest hours in Europe and deserve to enjoy every minute of it. With the first quarter of 2007 already underway, Creativity&Sense is definitely worth looking at.
