about

I love the coast and in particular, the area in which I live, the North East of England. It’s an uncomplicated life, for the past twelve years I’ve been away from the ‘big smoke’ … and the decision to relocate my business to the North has been the best move of my career. So far. I am a writer and have a lifetime of experience in publishing and personal development. I now consider myself a specialist in helping my clients with memoirs – this could be a biography, or simply bringing diary pages to life. I tend not to advertise my business, word of mouth has always been kind so it’s no surprise that I do spend a couple of days per week in collaboration through networking. Peer collaboration can be very rewarding. Therefore, if you’d like to join me fortnightly for Wednesday ZOOM or either Tuesday or Thursday for (in-person) morning coffee, please get in touch. I’d love to meet you and perhaps help in any way possible. Thank you for stopping by the website. engage, develop, grow … with Go! charliekenny@live.co.uk

  • Wriggle room, please

    Wriggle room, please

    ‘That’s typical.’ I said, talking to myself as I peered out of the kitchen window into a gloomy sky. Today’s public holiday, Sunday looks set to be a wet occasion. So Plan A is a no-go, and it’s time to adapt and play it by ear, ‘dog duty’ is always first-up whatever the weather, but the…

  • Is it me?

    Is it me?

    “Hey, the world is moving so fast!” Did I open with this line during my last post?  Often I find myself ‘checking in’ during self-reflection, I’m confirming whether the direction I’m headed qualifies whether or not I am still relevant. Make sense? Many (if not all) of us working for ourselves in a remote environment…

    The next best thing is

    There are many things competing for our attention … perhaps just now it’s this note from me to you. Many of us take on more than we should, agreeing to and saying yes to things we probably shouldn’t. At some point, with all the demands, appeasement, noise and interruptions, when we finally sit down, it’s…

  • Not getting any?

    During the course of any working week, if I were to expect to hear one question, it would be this one: ‘Why aren’t I getting any business, Charlie?’ I can’t answer each query without knowing a little more about how that person operates as a business. What it is they offer, their pricing structure and…

  • Walking the dog

    I bumped into a good friend at ‘Pets At Home’ the other day. I hadn’t seen Cheryl lately, and we got talking about similar ‘doggie’ interests, their diets (not ours), and the fickle life we, as dog owners, endure.  Our best friends have particular tastes. I mean, they have to work hard if they’re ever…

  • Let me know when you do.

    Let me know when you do.

    Change happens, so true. Sh*t happens to come along, and guess what? Change happens.  We share with close connections and the trust goes deeper. We may be basking in a moment of success, a somewhat rare occasion when the day is cruising, uneventful, time is yours to play with … when it happens. Yes, change…

  • Hoooraaay!

    Hoooraaay!

    It’s relief, validation of her actions and in her product and service. It can be tricky for anyone wishing to start their own business. Today’s fickle, competitive, and somewhat demoralising world calls for a tough skin.

    Achen was someone who was part of the original Weekly Business, at a time when we were meeting in London.

  • You, me, us.

    You, me, us.

    Some of my pals are terrified at the very thought of asking for help … (at first I was as well) … apprehensive when seeking that important special something that would further their business and therefore the well-being.
