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

  • Going off-piste

    Going off-piste

    Building relationships online is the same as in any other community. How your audience comes to see and know you through the messages we’re delivering. Getting to know you, that’s important. Often, I see people enjoying our morning business meeting, introducing themselves through networking, looking to deliver the message of what they’re looking for, and…

    Revise, plan, go again.

    While we’re busy now working ‘on’ the business, it is worth remembering that the cumulative effect of our efforts over time are the building blocks to our reputation. Word of mouth is so important, people like to buy from and recommend those whom they like and trust – business is personal.

  • Looking further

    Looking further

    I was in conversation with a group of 16-18yr olds the other day. They were discussing careers, some looking to university, others apprenticeships. Some looking for work experience, most of them had become disillusioned. The advice I gave my new friends is the same I offer anyone who needs help. Reach out to the bigger…

    Headless Chickens

    I met Karen recently. She has a start-up business and is now looking to generate new opportunities via ‘word of mouth.’ It’s always a pleasure to share new contacts with my own business community. The new connection is invaluable, although Karen may not ‘connect’ with everyone during her first meeting, she has the opportunity to introduce…

    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…

  • Go on, tell me more

    Go on, tell me more

    Many moons ago, as a youth Rugby Coach, one of the things I remember saying to my son was to make sure he stayed wide and watch for the gap. “Once you see the opportunity, move into the space at pace.” I would say. He understood what I was saying, it was grasping (as a…

  • Big fish, little fish

    Not everyone attends for orders Chris. 50% of our group are seeking affinity and knowledge as much to bolster the books with an order. The best, most effect groups work with a healthy diversity in the room. Besides, my business is not the commercial offer that your particular supplies may be, Chris … 

  • “I got lucky last night, Charlie.”

    “I got lucky last night, Charlie.”

    There are so many options open to us with the benefit of flexibility that comes with the solopreneur, if only we simply step out and take the opportunity that presents itself.

  • Quick step or bolero?

    Quick step or bolero?

    The past few years working for myself have been tough. I’ve noticed a tremendous change in the way people do business. Speaking with friends in my network, they all see the same … ​The familiar high-street names have disappeared from local focus. Woolworths, Miss Selfridge, Debenhams to name a few. Sure, some have resurfaced on-line…

    More homework

    Give it time, Ross. Educate the audience on who could use your product or service. Give the audience time to buy in to you and they may bring you business.
