It’s peak season, the hours are big and we are making hay while the sun shines, and I’m also drinking more so take that for what it’s worth. I’ve managed to give myself a day off today, the narrative being to rest. The problem is, not doing any of the 300 jobs needed around theContinue reading “You can’t stop a hailstorm”

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”
Does money equal success?
In writing this blog, it should be noted that I am not some hot shot business man who has made my fortune. The context is from a business owner who is getting by, paying their bills but doesn’t hold much excess for the finer things in life. Our small business is still small, learning andContinue reading “Does money equal success?”
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”

A quickContinue reading “PIVOT !!!”
The Genie is Nearly Out
It wasn’t too long ago that I didn’t know about, understand or care about inflation. Now as a businessman running a small business, inflation is going to affect the business, my life, your life and the short term whether we like it or not. With the growth mindset ever present, over the last two yearsContinue reading “The Genie is Nearly Out”
There is no failure, just outcomes
Tonight my brain is a mega mix of emotion, so please excuse me why I get a few thoughts out of the hazy matter and onto the page. If you do take the time to read this, firstly thank you it’s truly appreciated but secondly please do not take this as a sad story, it’sContinue reading “There is no failure, just outcomes”
“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””
