Enjoying semi-retirement.I work with clients and advisers that are open to being challenged and embrace continual improvement. After all, engaging with a business adviser is a sign of strength not weakness. I enjoy seeing the difference that I can make to people’s lives, by having a clarity of vision and an action plan to achieve their goals. The most satisfying sessions are when I turns up to find the client despondent – yes, it does happen, and is often related to people problems - to turn them around and leave them felling that they are going to conquer the world.There are many competencies that are required to be a good adviser, but in my opinion, there are for essential ones:• The burning desire to help people. • Always advising what is best for the client, however difficult or unpalatable the advice might seem.• The adviser must have “earned the right” to sit across the table from the client. They must have be there and done it – been successful in their career.• The adviser must have the ability to be an adviser, mentor and coach when the situation calls for it. The focus is on what will work for the client, it’s not about the adviser’s ego.Since 2008 I have turned my talents to helping owner managed businesses to achieving achieve outstanding results with:• Growth strategies• Acquisitions• ExitI have developed a 8 Step process model, that, if followed under guidance, will produce results. I have licensed that model so that other advisers can harness it to produce the same results for their clients.Outside work I am an active sportsman. I still play football (proper football not walking football!) and I am very proud to have been part a local football society for the last twenty years. I also play competitive badminton and regular hill walking. My wife and I enjoy travelling and spending time with our children and grand children.Give me a call on 07817 379 793 and let me help you to realise your potential so that you have more time, more money and more fun
