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.

I'm currently considering whether to take the whole site offline.

Why? Because amid considerable burnout-triggered personal distress I'm not able to think and work as I need and want to, and may just walk-the-hell-away from business. I'd certainly like to be able to.

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.

(Or, in LinkedIn-speak… 'I help start, run, grow, and fix businesses.')

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.

Anyway… that's quite enough of the self-lauding stuff that makes me sound better than I really am.

'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.
