Huh?

What is this stuff?

Several days later…

When searching my hard-drive for info on a specific project, I found an old file—from 2011, a single-page intro that I'd forgotten about.

'Burned-out entrepreneur/troubleshooter maintains limp web presence.'

In place of the old 'full' site here's a radically-slimmed new one

 

Who? What?

I'm gulliver (inexcusably pretentious name-change thing, that's my legal sur/whole name and the lower case 'g' is correct).

A business developer, through consults and ventures I design & build & repair commercial enterprises for myself and others.

My core skill is analysis & strategy, developed during the 30+ 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 outrageously, my commercial culture leans toward Peters, Jobs, Ogilvy, Kawasaki, Godin, Cluetrain, Branson, Kalman, Smit and Roddick.

Although well-mannered, I'm usually outspoken and often extremely direct—so don't be expecting Cary Grant with a briefcase.

And I emphatically reject unspirited and ethically-compromised enterprise which simply exploits without putting anything back.

Based in the UK, I work internationally.

 

Stop. Start again.

It's no secret that I'm returning to full-time commerce after several years of part-time activity, during which things have been less than stellar.

With poor health and even-poorer business decisions, it's been a commercially-flat and frustrating period of false starts and premature ends featuring various this-way-thatta-way direction changes to no great result.

Long-story-short is that I burned out, lost interest in business and should have stayed even further away from things than I did.

'That's life, move on…' with things now (May 2011) settled I'm back on course again, developing ventures [link removed] and providing business advice & support services [link removed].

So, if you're interested and have something appropriate, tell me.

[contact details removed]

So yeah, I could do 'short'—very short. And that's where the questioning begins… 'What's with the name, what do you mean 'burned-out'?, and more… so that's why I switched to providing appropriate (and some inappropriate) info upfront.

And, considerably flawed and far from ideal though it is, the current 'intro/who/what' structure enables fast skimming and deep-dive when desired.
