Following the loss of football professional Gary Speed, I came across this sensitive tribute on David Connor's Coethica blog My comment on David's blog was as follows Even though I never met Gary Speed, he always struck me as a very genuine, grounded professional in a sport which I have turned away from due to what I consider to be obscene amounts of money and over-inflated self-importance of

The OccupyWallSt #ows movement continues to ruffle more than a few very big feathers in the US.  This is a movement which is following the principle of no leaders and no defined politics or solution but it is prompting responses from both sides of the political fence.  These responses seem to be falling into two distinct camps - pure antagonism and condemnation on one side (as exemplified by

Where are the business support agencies at the end of a dream? I feel that business failure is an area which needs serious attention especially in the current climate and, having spoken to other business failures who have felt 'abandoned', I do not believe mine is a one-off 'sob story'. I hope to take my experiences and offer them positively both as 'worst-case scenario' for pre-start ups and

A rare glimpse of daytime TV a few days ago led to these extreme stories of what BFA is aiming to help people avoid. The impact of such terrible actions has long-reaching affects for family and friends who are unable to fully understand the mind-set of victims of failure in business or debt-related circumstances http://www.itv.com/lifestyle/thismorning/more/debtandsuicide/ http://news.bbc.co.uk

From recareered.blogspot.com Why Employers Look For Candidates Who Have Failed When I first heard this as a recruiter, I asked the hiring manager to please repeat themselves. Later I learned that many savvy hiring managers often look to hire someone who has failed at a past job or project. Ok, everybody out there that has hidden failures on their resume, raise your hand … I was intrigued as

More than 140,000 UK firms experienced ‘significant or critical’ financial problems last quarter, according to insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor – a 6% rise on the previous three months. With the unemployment figure also expected to hit a 14-year high this week, and a think-tank suggesting that the economic gap between UK cities is getting even wider, one thing is abundantly clear: even if we

My business failed in August 2009 and I keep getting told that all the best businessmen and entrepreneurs fail at least once. Having read a few bio's of entrepreneurs, I don't doubt that is true but what I don't understand is how they do it.Is it to do with* age* money* family & friends* skillsThe answer will no doubt come back as "All of them and none of them - it's to do with YOU" but what

A MANCHESTER solicitor today warned that the number of law firms falling into insolvency in the region is set to reach record levels during 2010. Richard Glithero, head of insolvency at city centre outfit Pannone, said smaller practices are especially vulnerable to fraud, lack of funding and soaring insurance premiums.

Simon Read opines that "Wriggling out of debt is not proper justice" in the Independent.I can assure Mr. Read that if I was able to repay debts, I would.

With 2010 heralding a new year, there are reports that the worst is over and that we are going to have a more positive 2010 with fewer business failures. That may be so or it could be another example of "Pagliacci Economics".

Over the last few weeks, I've become a great fan of Tony Robbins' material. It makes a lot of sense along with many other NLP-based personal development strategies etc. I've just listened to his Power of Crisis audio with great interest - it all makes sense and have felt motivated to try to take some action. But, even Tony admits that when you're down in a crisis, a friend, colleague, buddy can

Part of the problem I have faced is knowing what to do next. With a zig-zagging work history in the years before setting up my business, I find myself not only facing the financial abyss but also a career abyss.Besides making and waiting on phone calls for banks, creditors etc, I'm trying to find a way through to some sort of new start. Finding out how to sell myself is proving a challenge as I

The options for ending your business depend on available funds/assets/finances. The one I've taken is to strike off the company (s652 of the UK Companies Act) as that is sort of my only option. That's because neither the company nor I can acess the funds to put the company into the hands of professionals - accountants to do my accounts, insolvency practitioners to wind it up, etc. I'm having to

This doesn't refer to putting your failure on show to the public. It refers to the potential consequences of running a business, failing and then having to resort to public funds to get back on track. Here is a letter written to a UK MP relating to such a situation - some of it may be tongue in cheek but the sentiment is realDear Honourable Member of ParliamentRef: Delays in JSA / Housing/

Looking back at the mistakes made leading up to business failure is something which is done on a regular basis, in many cases with the help of seasoned professionals. It can obviously be a useful learning exercise. However, wouldn't you think that with the wealth of experience which has built up around this, business start-up advisors in banks and other business support organisations would by
