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 – that could entail 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 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

    He’s no one hit wonder

      Ben, it’s great to hear you enjoyed the holiday. Welcome back.   “Thanks, Charlie, I did enjoy the time away from the factory, I took the opportunity to do a lot of thinking …” Holidays are good for thinking Ben, have another biscuit with the tea … what do we need to discuss? “Ok,…

    The human experience

    I’ve been around a while, discovered some success and I’m blessed to have been working with some wonderfully talented people. Over time I’ve also discovered that success is powered by three fundamentals. Your know-how, your reputation and your network of contacts. Sounds simple don’t you think? Isn’t that how it should be though? Hey, you…

    Doubt your happiness ?

    ‘Thanks Charlie, I’m back in a fortnight, without the doubt I promise, and we can follow up then, ok by you?’ Ben was away for a well-deserved holiday. Together we’ve put in place a short-term strategy for success, something Ben is more than capable of achieving if only he could lose his doubt. Stepping out…

  • The Extraordinary

    The Extraordinary

    Surrounding ourselves with extraordinary friends, those of like minds, not only makes us feel good, it simply helps to get the job done, don’t you think? I’m in the business of connecting people and although I’m more than comfortable having a room full of people – who perhaps don’t quite yet share my conviction of…

    Ready for the harvest

    ‘Busy connecting, that’s me Charlie … it’s looking good.’ Ben and I had been discussing his latest steps toward independence from business with mum and dad and now the conversation has moved to the new found sales network. With finance and the accountant now in place, Ben was happy to visualise how he could move…

    Assume, you could be right

    A quarter of the year almost gone and micro-business Dave was asking me what he had to do to gain more clients. Here’s a starter check-list for you Dave … Have you approached prospects with your offer? ‘Offer?’ Came the reply. ‘I’ve a website Charlie and I’ve made sure I’ve covered my social media outlets…

    Clarity, commitment, trust

    The lid of the laptop came down. ‘Snapchat’ now terminated … ‘Ok, so I get it, I need to be seen to be considered ‘worthy,’ is that it? Well, yes you could be right there Ben, it’s the ‘people buy from people’ thing, when people make those significant buying decisions they’ll want to meet up with…

    Commited. Entrepreneur In or out?

    Those in the Network see it daily. Some who have it and some who do not. Building the business is not simply about ‘showing up,’ it’s more about being there to set course and follow through to destination. Commitment. There is no middle road for the commited entrepreneur, see if you recognise some of the…

  • What’s the plan?

    What’s the plan?

    Ok, here’s the plan. It’s Monday morning and Ben was feeling just a little apprehensive with this first day of being officially ‘unemployed.’ Now I don’t know about but first thing in the morning tea needs to make an appearance before I’m ready to go. My colleague was no different, we chatted and I soon…
