The BIG day

I’d all but given up hope of being successful

“So Charlie, can you remember why you decided to work for yourself?“ Mark, I remind myself of that same question whenever the going gets tough. Why work for myself? The personal rewards of course and (this may sound tedious) because I wanted control of my destiny. What about you, Mark, do you enjoy your work? Continue reading “Who’s driving?”

Accountable

Accountability is such an important quality. There’s not a lot to maintain, we start by respecting the value of time while doing as we say we shall. I help clients write the story of their lives. Sometimes the project lasts only a short time, other works take a little longer. The business network forum IContinue reading “Accountable”

What’s your experience?

There was a time of course when I wasn’t considered an ‘expert’ in anything – least of all publishing. Sure, today the thirty+ years in the industry offer a kind of qualification, reassurance to potential clients. Although I’d never agree to be deemed an expert. Why?

The type of potential client I’m interested in meeting? He/she wouldContinue reading “Rate your chances”

Be like Greta.

Last night I was watching TV., a BBC programme, all about an 18yr old environmental activist named Greta Thunberg, the show was entitled “A Year to Change the World.” What strikes me about this young lady is her utmost dedication. During ‘the show’ we see her visit Poland, a monumental coal mine where we hear pointsContinue reading “Be like Greta.”

Knowing me, knowing you

Again, I was with a bunch of friends via ZOOM recently, we were discussing the value of LinkedIn and similar online networking platforms. It was more than curiosity that drove me. I understand that some folk view networking as a vessel for new leads while others look for learning, peer affinity. Networking fulfils different needs forContinue reading “Knowing me, knowing you”
