Hi everyone,
I’m Mike – some know me as The Master Pencil Pusher.
Like so many others in the current climate, I’ve been struggling to find stable employment.
After weeks of jumping through hoops, I’ve been left with ghosting and withdrawn offers. It’s been tough — especially with personal debts piling up during the cost-of-living crisis, So, instead of waiting for an opportunity.
I decided to create one. I’ve started Master Pencil Pushing Services – a virtual back office supporting tradespeople with admin, paperwork, and all the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep them free to focus on their craft.
Here’s where I need your help. To get this idea off the ground to its full potential, I’m trying to raise £900 to cover essentials like my domain, website, and marketing.
I’ve reached out for partnerships with accountants, insurance brokers, pension providers, and van dealerships – but so far, no luck.
I’m asking via GoFundMe , as a last resort, for any support:If you can spare anything to help me reach my goal, it would mean the world.If you have ad-hoc admin needs, I’d be grateful for the work.Or even if you can connect me to businesses who might partner, that would be incredible.
Christmas is around the corner, and I want to be able to support my family without slipping backwards in my recovery.
This is the hardest post I’ve ever written, but I truly believe in this idea, and I just need a chance to prove myself.Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any help – no matter how small – would make a huge difference.
