Guess who that is!? So this is where I get it from! This is a picture of me with my Grandad in his shed making stuff. Do you like my golden jumper? - my shed clothes:) We're actually making a bar skittles game and I remember that day vividly. Look how messy the shed is! He gave me lots of time and personal commitment. We used to create things from seemingly nothing - scraps and offcuts mainly.
I was chatting to Mike Wilshire from the Executive Foundation (http://www.executive-foundation.com/) and he's convinced that our past experience way back can shape our purposes, and this is how this memory came to the fore. I was about 4 years old there I think. As I spoke to him about my philosophy, he observed that it's no wonder I give those people who inspire me my personal time and commitment; and, in a sense, craft people's future from where ever they are with their finances - creating for them a personal Financial Road Map: their version of a bar skittles game, a wooden Farm, a wooden Fort and countless other creations that came out of that ramshackle little shed with my Grandad.
As he used to say to me when I struggled with the the saw that was bigger than me, "there's no such thing as can't".
Anything was possible. And it still is.
