MyPholyo at Huckletree Thank you to everyone who came to An Evening with June Angelides MBE and Tobi Asare on Monday.

It was a pleasure to see all of our guests connecting, and stories resonating across many different experiences. The photos are now up.

Sneak peek: the new Mapper If you've got more than one income stream, this one's for you. Fractional executives. Advisers. Board members. Consultants. Founders running a practice on the side. If your career stopped being one job a while back, this is for you. When you earn from more than one place, your work ends up scattered: a CV here, LinkedIn there, a folder of invoices you haven't opened in months. None of it adds up to a number you can actually use, and none of it is really in your...

A letter from June I chose time over money. Did I get it wrong? This was the question I had to answer recently, and it made me realise that although I had studied economics, I hadn't been applying many of the principles I learnt at UCL to my own career. Let me take you back to the beginning. Like many people, I didn't start off with a grand plan. I just knew I couldn't afford to get it wrong. When you come from a family of very ambitious people who have built businesses and kept them going...

A note from June Everyone is talking about portfolio careers. But how do you actually build one that actually makes money? This is a question that keeps coming up. Whether you are established with 10 years plus behind you or just starting out, we believe it should be easy to start a portfolio career. When I started 11 years ago, it was completely by accident. I was running my first business, Mums in Tech, and honestly we were making so little money that I had to think outside the box. I think...

A note from June Hi all, This week I've been spending a lot of time thinking about what would have happened if I hadn't built the muscle to get comfortable with being a walking contradiction. Hear me out, because after speaking to many of you this week, it turns out that a lot of you are feeling this way too. You wanted the status of the big corporate career, but you also realised it was essentially golden handcuffs. You spent years climbing the ladder only to realise that ladder wasn't...

A note from June Hi friends, It's been another busy week full of really insightful conversations. For someone, who is not naturally good at puzzles, this week I really feel like I cracked a few and it was very satisfying. Top of mind for me as always is you and how to best serve you. Many of you told me this week that you are frustrated with not being paid fairly. We hear you and we are working hard behind the scenes to fix this. We have lots of ideas and with ideas comes testing. We so...

A note from June I write my note today from sunny Crete on holiday with my husband and three children. A lot of people asked me if I was planning to switch off while I was here and just enjoy the sound of the waves and read the books I packed with me (The Psychology of Money and It Could Have Been Her). When I decided to build again, I made a conscious decision to design my life so that it all worked well together. I didn't want to have to switch off any part of me for the others. As my late...

Nobody calls it concentration risk when it's a salary You have one client. They pay one hundred per cent of your invoices. There is no second client, and they can end it with thirty days' notice. If a friend described their business that way, you would worry for them. That is a job. It is the arrangement we were all taught to call the safe one. Nobody calls it concentration risk when the money lands on the same day each month. Regularity and security are two different things, and this year...
