Sticking to the plan is boring me. The plan being, work at the restaurant, complete the accounting course and gain experience in making furniture. Patience.

This book is one of my faves, which isn’t saying much as I’ve only just this year really started reading books! But still, I enjoyed this book. Small, seemingly insignificant choice, compounded over time = success/failure

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 out of recycled wood.

Book review of Setting the Table. A couple of great concepts I can implement at my parents restaurant and also take forward into the future.

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 parents in the world.

Great week. I get and share some advice given to me personally from one of the most successful businessman in Britain.

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 in the UK and the fact that the house building industry not able to keep up with demand, isn’t it time we thought outside the box on how homes are built?
