Chuffed to spot myself in today's @thetimes.com newspaper, alongside lots of fellow Good Business Charter businesses 🤩

People in salaried jobs are probably less likely to openly admit to feeling like an imposter in comparison with freelancers – that’s why my pocket book I wrote on the subject to be equally relevant for anyone in any type of employed role. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09V25N8G6

Proud to be 'flying the flag' for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals today, as a business who's wrapped their business model around 5 of the goals. @globalcompactuk.bsky.social #TogetherForTheSDGs #SDGFlagDay drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB... (p 18-21)

Co-operatives do business better: 💷 4x more likely to be Living Wage Employers 📈 82% survive 5 years (vs 39% UK average) 👩‍💼 Women more likely to reach the top Explore the #CoopEconomy 👇 uk.coop/news/record-...

Excited to share I'm part of the line up for next months' (free) global #FreelanceBusinessMonth - sharing insider stories as a best-selling author, of the why's and how's freelancers can benefit from starting to write a book. www.freelancebusiness.community/c/freelance-...

Very excited to see that my book, 'Flushed!' is not only currently charting as a bestseller in 2 of Amazon's categories, but in being ranked #42 has also become the answer to life, the universe, and everything...! amzn.eu/d/1G3cQ9P

Our new campaign, #ApprenticeshipsWork launched today, based on two new policy reports, "Chaos to Coordination" and "Agents of Change". www.edge.co.uk/policy/repor... Edge Executive Director Oliver Newton introduces Apprenticeships Work here: vimeo.com/1119033931?s...

great to guest on the latest episode of @ninalenton.bsky.social's creativity podcast: - the relationship between Talking Heads and balance sheets; - why company law is like going to the pub; - why business cards should be made out of bananas; and more... www.ninalenton.co.uk/creative-con...

Imposter Syndrome didn’t officially exist until 1978 – and initially only affected women. So how has it spread to become so rampant that over 70% of all people feel afflicted by it today? www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09V25N8G6

Very excited to see that my book, 'Flushed!' almost made it into the Amazon top100 books list for 'career advancement and professional development' over the weekend! www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

Encouraged that @libdemvoice.org have asked me to write this piece for their website, highlighting the cost to our wider economy of the current legislative discrimination against some unpaid carers (and how easy it could be to fix this...) www.libdemvoice.org/how-a-simple...

Looks like I'm off to the moon (again) next year! - if you want to join me on the trip, check out "Launch Your Name Around Moon in 2026 on NASA’s Artemis II Mission" www.nasa.gov/news-release... via NASA

I think I've figured out why the voices of unpaid carers are always seemingly ignored by policy makers, when it comes to trying to make things more equitable for us. (now to figure out how to fix this!) thirdsectorexpert.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

Some encouraging news to end the summer / start autumn with, for my business 😀 (I've been named the UK's leading social enterprise consultant by AcquisitionInternational!) www.acquisition-international.com/winners/adri...

Been governance-ing a lot today: participating in the AGMs of some national sector bodies I'm a member of, and arranging proxies for others who've arranged theirs at times that my calendar can't otherwise accommodate... What does your business do to show solidarity with/influence others?

Very excited that the library at #ImpactHubYorkshire is the first to accept a copy of my latest book, 'Flushed!', onto its shelves - hopefully helping to inspire and encourage the next generation of changemakers. (but able to double-up as an emergency door stop if not!)

No mean feat to survive as a freelancer for two decades - well done!

An insiders view (from an unusual perspective), on how to keep a business going for 20 years, when 90% of all other startups won't make it this far: www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

A sneak peak at my upcoming podcast with @ninalenton.bsky.social - revealing why I use all the props that I do, in calls and workshops... youtube.com/shorts/6X9WE...

Chuffed to spot myself in today's @theguardian.com newspaper, alongside lots of fellow Good Business Charter businesses 🤩

I've vandalised my advance copy of @socialstarters.bsky.social's new book with post-it tabs as so there's much good stuff in it. A must read for anyone thinking about what their job is/how they work. 📖 Book launch: bit.ly/SSBookLaunch... 🌱 Free Oct workshop: bit.ly/41Q42ke

I wanted to write 'Flushed!' because there are no other books out there that tell you how to get a business to survive for 20 years (90% drop out before this milestone) - and hopefully sharing what I figured out in the process will help other entrepreneurs of different flavours: amzn.eu/d/dlKpGj5

Did you know that neurospicy entrepreneurs can create more impact because of how I work in supporting them, in comparison with the approaches used by other business consultants? drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB... (p27) #AAimpact25

It is still August, isn't it??

"an outstanding individual who's kept going with energy & morals, despite everything he's had to face & survive - quite a read from someone we could do with more people like". - sounds like my latest book, Flushed!, may challenge you more than you think? www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

Great to share a podcast studio with Rashpal Sagoo of Box Media recently - and ruminate on topics you probably never thought would (or could) be talked about on the 'Ramp Up Your Volume' show... Stay tuned for more updates on when the episode is released!

Looking forward to exploring with fellow facilitators how the UN's Sustainable Development Goals relate to (and inform) how we work in our professional roles, with @iafacilitators.bsky.social next month - www.iaf-world.org/site/events/...

Very excited to see my books being appearing on @ninalenton.bsky.social's bookshelf of recommended reads for both freelancers, and people looking to find more joy and play in their work! www.ninalenton.co.uk/useful-resou...

Did you know that I help people start to engage with their local libraries, to access the support that they can offer in creating and amplifying impact that benefits us all? #AAimpact25 drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB...

"it's like slot-machine wisdom! (but don't try and read it cover to cover...)" - A great insight from an early reader of my new book on what it takes to stay in business and consistently create impact for 20 years, (and encouragement for how I'm indexed it). www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

With a little help from other people, I've worked out what the biggest impact is that my business has created over the last 20 years. thirdsectorexpert.blogspot.com/2025/08/20-y...

Men are just as likely to experience imposter syndrome as women, but most don’t know who / how to talk to about it (perhaps due to most of existing content out there being seemingly by/for women?) - maybe my pocket book written from the perspective of a man might help? www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09V25N8G6

Turns out my approach to tax as a business consultant is pretty unique (and lauded by national bodies!). #AAimpact25 drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB... (page 24)

Libraries, pubs, and laundrettes have all been places that have been important in helping my business get to its 20th anniversary (outlasting 90% of all other enterprises). If you want to know how they've helped, check out my retrospective of insights: www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

A recent email from me to 2 people in the same organisation generated out of office replies from both of them, with each referencing the other as the person to contact in their absence in the event of anything urgent..!

When I started my business, social media was a very different beast to what it is today - and there were a lot fewer of us playing in its spaces... thirdsectorexpert.blogspot.com/2025/08/im-p...

How ironic: a funded national business support programme has cancelled it's webinar on how freelancers and the self-employed can manage isolation and the negative impacts this creates, with 48 hours notice - thus leaving us even more isolated...

My latest book almost broke the printers' presses. (probably because I've crammed into it 20 years of insight, experience, and stories about what it takes for an enterprise to keep going when 90% of all others have failed) www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

Never underestimate the power of a goldfish in realising the potential for positive impact to be created (see p16 of my latest impact report) drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB... #AAimpact25

I know it's really tough times for any charities trying to apply for grants right now, but this innocent typo in someone's recent email newsletter will probably have set a few more fundraisers hearts racing...?

Thanks to YouTube, I've become a daily 1 minute habit for people in 20 countries around the world. thirdsectorexpert.blogspot.com/2025/08/how-...

Excited to see @isbecommunity.bsky.social taking an interest in my new book, reflecting on 20 years of accidental entrepreneurship - www.isbe.org.uk/new-book-wil...

Did you know that I sometimes wear my undies on the outside of my trousers to create even more impact? #AAimpact25 drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB...

Chuffed to see @docfilmcouncil.bsky.social - a pioneering first for the UK Film industry, getting showcased by @cooperativesuk.bsky.social, as part of the support I was able to offer them in adopting their coop model. www.uk.coop/case-studies...

The @socialstarters.bsky.social has only gone and posted the first review for my new book, Flushed!, within 2 days of it going live on Amazon's bookshelves - and it's a corker! www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

Turns out I'm more like Dr Who, Alan Sugar, and Dwight Schrute than I realised... thirdsectorexpert.blogspot.com/2025/07/who-...

How many business consultants do you know who annual report on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with the actual measures & guidance that the UN created and intended to be used for reporting against them? (rather than people making up their own...) #AAimpact25 drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB...

With an innocuous seeming email, my latest book has now been released into the wild. www.amazon.co.uk/Flushed-firs...

I knew there was a reason I subscribed to the #LexiComm newsletter - a chance to win a chocolate lollipop!!

96% of all the unpaid carers who are also small business owners whom I've had contact with, have found practical encouragements and benefits for how they work through my championing of them. #AAimpact25 drive.google.com/file/d/1dybB...
