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”.

It wasn’t too long ago that I didn’t know about, understand or care about inflation.

With the growth mindset ever present, over the last two yearsContinue reading “The Genie is Nearly Out”
Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021
As the world celebrates the passing of the old and the potential of the new, I am a prisoner of my own surroundings. After testing positive for Covid 19, and following government guidelines and have been in isolation from after just Christmas to the first few days of 2022. After announcing it to my customersContinue reading “Making the past more valuable, reflecting on 2021”
A Question of work?
So as the grains of sand fall through the life glass, another week has past in the blink of an eye. As we now approach December, life will become warp speed and a bit of a blur. As the frost covers the cars, the grass crunches under foot and the morning air is crisp it’sContinue reading “A Question of work?”
