I'm g (huh?), and this is my not-very-businessy business site.

It outlines who I am, what I do, and much of the 'how' and 'why'… along with some small-talk and a little propaganda.

Not like that, like this.

Authentic and transparent, but rarely crisp and focused… the content here, and the informal meandering conversationally-toned style in which it's presented, is entirely intentional.

So, roll with it… click around, get comfortable. Open your mind, and suck-in the experience.

I do business stuff.

Since 1978, I've designed/built/repaired businesses for myself and others.

My core skill is analysis & strategy, developed during the 40+ years I've been doing this stuff… usually at the 'sharp end' where the deals are done and the money changes hands.

Often unconventional (sometimes seemingly outrageously so), although well-mannered I'm usually extremely direct and bluntly outspoken… so don't be expecting Cary Grant with a briefcase.

(And yes, I prefer not to use the word 'entr*pr*n**r about myself'.)

Based in England, I work internationally.

Oh, almost forgot…

Uncomfortable with self-promo, and low on self-confidence and -esteem, I to some degree prefer to consider myself as 'largely talentless and having screwed-up far more than I've done right—fortunate to have gotten away with so little damage'.

But that's probably unfair on myself, because I *do* know a lot about how to do business and am actually relatively competent.

Anyway [he quickly added, trying to change the subject]…

'Another time, another place.'

What's here is an intro/overview rather than a pitch, because…

I'm now fully occupied with my own venture projects, and so unless you're one of my ex-wives or there's a really-really-really good reason, I'm no longer available for business advice & support or to collaborate on others' ventures.
