Network Automation Consultant

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Roger Perkin of ARP Networks, located in Southampton, Hampshire, UK.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I offer consulting services for Network Automation, Coding in Python, Ansible, Terraform, and other Network Automation tools. I also author online training courses.

Tell us about yourself

I used to work for a few companies doing the 9-5 and always on their terms. Since working for myself, if I want to work seven days a week on a project that excites me, I can, and if I want to take a week out, I can!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Becoming financially independent.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Admin! I seem to spend more time on the marketing and admin side of the business than the actual business, but I am looking for someone to help me with that!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Start today! Buy a website domain, set up a YouTube channel, and just get your message/product/service out there!
