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

  • What then?

    What then?

      ‘What’s so good about networking Charlie?’ It’s been a few years since I started my blog and most of you have been extremely tolerant of my persistent business focus, thanks for that. I’m very happy that some of what I’ve shared has been useful as well and in answer to that question – ‘what’s so…

    Fail sometimes. It’s ok.

      So how about a salesperson Sally? Who looks after sales within your organisation?? Employ someone? Where am I going to get a salesperson that understands my business, Charlie? Fair comment I thought to myself, we’ve all asked the same question. I knew that Sally was a sole trader and the question from me was…

    relationships? Seriously?

  • How do you do that?

    How do you do that?

    While enjoying several years of Networking Northumberland I’d (almost) chosen to disregard the fact that I’ve spent 25 years in business this year!  That was until I was asked what would be the most important words I would give anyone ‘starting out’ today in the world of self-employment? I thought to myself … how much time do you…

    dude, bust those moves

    “It’s funny, I never imagined that I’d enjoy meeting so many new people, so when I found out that there were those in the room, similar to myself it soon put me at ease. It was great there are those willing to reach out and engage, offering to help my business, I have to say…

    more business is lost through indecision than by making the wrong decision.

    The USP. Don’t be fooled

    I was perched atop a pallet of paper, a glass of tea in hand, just outside the works where Dan plied his trade when I was surprised with a question from my usually content 23 yr old friend. “Charlie, I’m supposed to be identifying my USP. Why does being in business have to be so…

  • Your gift, share it.

    Your gift, share it.

    Life is too short!  Heard that one before? At some point in your career, there will come a morning when you’ll awake and ask yourself, “What am I really doing?” It’s at this point that earning money by making/selling ‘stuff’ will no longer be motivation enough. However, if your answer to that question reflects a…

    you, me, collaboratively …

    Collaboration is a much anticipated and at the same time, such an overlooked benefit to networking. What happens though, when things don’t quite go to plan? Been there? You know it don’t you? Initially, there is the excitement of working with and learning all about a potential collaborative partner, someone who can contribute to your projects…
