After 4 years owning a Food van what have I learnt

Sometime last week we hit the milestone of four years, whilst this is a nice moment, to be honest it doesn’t mean anything in the scheme of things. On reflection, I still feel new to the space, the world of business and still feel far from a success. Now don’t get this twisted, this isn’tContinue reading “After 4 years owning a Food van what have I learnt”

The elusive Work Life Balance

In writing this I don’t mean to upset anyone, judge how you choose to spend your time, question your ambition or frankly make you think I care how “you do you”. As long as you try to do the right thing on occasion without being a dick, then you are alright in my book. NowContinue reading “The elusive Work Life Balance”

The season of “going to work”

Maybe it’s time to write down a few thoughts, the nights are getting colder, the air is crisper, the summer sun seems a distant memory. As the leaves change colour and the seasons change so does the business cycle of this small business. The summer season has been and gone and the time to regroupContinue reading “The season of “going to work””

Sometimes it’s just a hard week

Originally I typed this blog after a hard week, one where I was ready to just give up. The truth is it was just a way to get a few things of my chest and rant. Like the process of writing an angry letter and never posting it (make sure you don’t post them!). ItContinue reading “Sometimes it’s just a hard week”

Compounding your mum

Yes, I admit it is a silly and crude title, but it’s a hook point (a concept I once read about, it gets your Attention whilst mindlessly scrolling ). It’s been a long while since I’ve blogged, far too long in fact. It’s not apparent that it’s been missed by anyone though, in fact IContinue reading “Compounding your mum”

“Be water, my friend”

A rare feeling of normality in this most crazy of times is upon me, its purely due to the world being upside down and the lack of a feeling of control for the last few weeks. Bruce Lee once spoke of “be like water, it can even break down mountains” (paraphrased) . The key isContinue reading ““Be water, my friend””

A step Back to the future

To start an apology. I was really hoping to push myself to writing a weekly blog, gaining some traction and momentum. The truth of the matter is I haven’t. Sometimes I have the time with no idea of what to say so divert to something more trivial, family oriented or just plain right lazy. SinceContinue reading “A step Back to the future”

“COS YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH”

As the orders trickle in, and the evening begins to move into the quiet of night, I manage to get a few minutes between the demands of the Mrs and kids, and for a few minutes, in peace I get to reflect and think of the week. Well it would actually be two, apologies forContinue reading ““COS YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH””

The Step into the Unknown week 1

As Monday began so did another chapter in this book that is building your own business. A week ago I had security of a minimum wage job in supermarket crowd control, a Sunday roast business that was at its maximum and involved early mornings late nights, and I had a life that wasn’t really working.Continue reading “The Step into the Unknown week 1”

FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING

5am the alarm disturbs me from whatever strange dream I was having. It has only been a few hours following a late night of working but there is no chance to snooze. 5,4,3,2,1 … up. This is what needs to be done, this is what I’m fighting for, this is a chance at something. FromContinue reading “FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING”
