Get On With It
After leaving my past life as a brewery MD the world has looked a whole lot different, don't get me wrong I really miss what I have been doing, the last eight weeks has given me time to reflect and grieve to an extent, 14 years and seven months building a fantastic business with some great people is not easy to leave behind for, I know not what, but leave I had too.
What I do know however, is that I am far from ready to retire and have a desire to get back to it, I have too much to offer to let that go to waste.
On Tuesday I had the great opportunity to listen to a fantastic inspirational speaker. The story of Richard McCann, the speaker, is frightening but truly inspirational, his "I Can" attitude after everything that has happened in his life is remarkable and I thank him for sharing his story with me.
Reflecting on Richards story, I too, have always had that 'can do' attitude,as my ex colleagues know, what has really resonated with me is "so get on with it"
So as from today am going to "get on with it". I seek the opportunity to change someones business and life for the better, I want to find a business who needs help, ideally in the brewing industry but you know beer is beer and very similar to most other consumables. As long as the product is good, and most are, all the rest is about people and I am really good with people.
I have never posted before, in fact I have never really used LinkedIn other than to accept invitations, so now lets see what we can do and if a technophobe like me can, then anyone can.
Thank you Richard.
