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

  • 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 … 

  • 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…

    “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.

  • 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…

  • Putting the work in

    Putting the work in

    Another oft-overlooked advantage of joining a like-minded community is partnership. By putting the work-in, being brave, giving time to the room, we’re reaching a whole new community of listeners. Each of us have the potential to reach new prospects through recommendation. Word of mouth works … if only you give us something to talk about.

  • 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.

    Why do something else?

  • 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

    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.

  • Foundations matter …

    Foundations matter …

    If you want to be great, greater than life itself, learn to give. Love has nothing to do with what you expect to get, only with what you expect to give—everything.
