When I started this blog, it was meant to be about my own business. Instead I’ve been focused on my family’s restaurant business and still not even properly started my own. Once a month videos now until I have more stuff going on.

We think of Innocent smoothies as being a big, popular company dominating the smoothie market and so it’s great to rewind back and see their humble beginnings (which includes hand delivering their homemade smoothies with labels stuck on via sellotape.

I am guilty of not focusing on ‘The One Thing’, so reading this book was often quite depressing as I realise I need to cut lots out and say “no” to many of the pipe dreams I currently have. The book talks so much sense and I think I’ve read it at the perfect time in my life. I needed this wake up call.…

Working closely with my 82 year old father in the family business has at times been difficult and there have been many disagreements. But there have also been things he has taught me and traits in him I hope to emulate.

Why do parents place a huge emphasis on their children doing homework in school but then not do the homework themselves? Do they think school years are the only years in which one can learn? Do they think that as adults there is no longer a prize for doing homework?

What’s great about this book is the progression. We all currently know Amazon to be an all powerful, global beast of a business, but let’s go back to its first step, (conquering the world of online book sales). How can anyone not spare the time to read the incredible story of Jeff Bezos and Amazon? If you are interested in business, this book is a …

A legend among self improvement books. Timeless ways and tactics in dealing with people, whether in relationships, socially or in business. A lot of it seems obvious and easy but as the old saying goes, ‘things that are easy to do, are also easy to not do’. Or something like that?!...

Did a metal welding course. I’m still thinking about and doing preparation for the business ideas I shared at the start of this blog. Two of which were making furniture out of waste materials and making houses out of shipping containers, both of which would require metal welding.

I’m excited to give my full, formal offer to my neighbour to buy their house on ‘exchange with delayed completion’ deal. I’ve made it quite generous because if he says yes, I can do a full double extension and refurbishment of both of our properties, adding huge amounts of value to both. Then, after that, sell my current home, in order to get the m…

Author Simon Zutshi was one of the first to bring large scale property educational events and courses to the UK. A bit of a legend in the property investment world and author of this great book. In a similar style to many other property books I’ve read recently, it gives an overview of various strategies and touches on the usual subjects such as HM…

This week I went to the PIN (Property Investors Network) meet-up in Bristol. I did this because I need some extra cash for the project I have planned. I thought if I put myself out there at one of these things I might find a handy mortgage broker and I did! Happy days.

Rob Dix and Rob Bence are my current man crush es?! Their property podcast if f**king great. After reading this book by Rob Dix, (given to me by my beautiful girlfriend for Christmas), I immediately read it again! Then I downloaded his follow on book (Complete Guide to Property Investment) on Audible and listened to it. Then immediately listened to…

My neighbours property has just gone on the market. I’m already planning an extension on my own property but it occurred to me that this is also the perfect time to do his as well! I’m now busy thinking of how I can structure a deal whereby I agree to buy my neighbours property for a set price in the future (18 months time), I then extend both prop…

These ladies will give you their take on how to buy a deal, add value, then sell for highest price possible. Flipping great book! (Sorry). I only wish they’d dig deeper on what it takes to make a successful flip and less on the other property related topics.

This week I’ve been mostly washing up at the restaurant after having to sack our kitchen porter for telling us he was ‘ill’ then working you cash in hand fir someone else! Bastard. I tracked him down outside his new place of work then ambushed him. “Mataeuz, thought you were I’ll? Yet here I find you washing up at another restaurant?! Well you’re s…

Old gem of a book (first published 1926) on how to accumulate wealth and riches. The lessons learnt from ancient Babylonians on how to manage your own personal finances are brought to life through short stories based on those found on the clay tablets excavated from Babylon by archeologists. Can the principles of this ancient civilisation still hol…

Getting myself ready for the final exam of my accounting course. Just finishing some revision on =FORMULAS within Microsoft Excel. I’d like to progress onto level 4 after this and become a chartered but I’d have to get a job at an accountancy firm first. No chance of that while the restaurant is still going so will have to wait. The job security of…

Had a few architects over to quote on how much they’d charge to manage my house extension/renovation. It’s amazing how much you can learn from salespeople. I’ve learnt so much already about how this renovation is going to work and what’s possible.

I have no idea about furniture but..... I found a great place that recycled wood. ‘The Wood Recycling Project’ in Bristol is a fantastic little social enterprise. They rely on volunteers, however, after 10 volunteer shifts, I get taught how to use all the tools they have in their workshop! Perfect! Bit of volunteering followed by making furniture o…

I've had to slightly step away from my parents restaurant. Frictions between me and my Dad. He's 82 bless him and still wanting to be 'the boss'. This is natural although fustrating for me. What lessons can i take from my current situation?

My first ever book review. I haven't done the book justice but it's my first ever review and i hope to get better. Part of this Journey Through Business is about continuous learning so where better to start than by reading the work of people who have already acheived the things i hope to one day.

Coming up with a business name. More tricky than I thought! I want it to be non-restrictive, memorable, short and to have an a available website domain. Initial thoughts are ‘Underdog Enterprises’ as I love the underdog spirit and always support the underdog when watching sport. And ‘JackieDarlings’ a nickname given to me by the most embarrassing p…

Been experimenting with sleep. Done a few weeks on a strict 6 hour per night max. Feel like shit. I’m happy to occasionally go without sleep and work tired, but I think trying to go to bed earlier and aiming for 8 hours might be a better option.

Indecision, indecision, indecision. With so much work involved in starting a business and how much time will inevitably become invested in it. But at some point I know I need to commit and say, “I plan to do... X”. Also, the idea of making houses out of shipping containers is stuck in my head. Annoying. But with the shortage of affordable housing i…
