The theme of motivation.
A lengthy (too lengthy) description of the many and varied ways we found to motivate our clients, our staff and ourselves, generally involving large amounts of alcohol and frequently ending in bad behaviour and embarrassment all round.
As one of my erstwhile colleagues put it, after he had read it, “Finally you look like you might be having fun.” If previous chapters have implied that everything was unalloyed tedium and grind, then nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, we spent too much time (and money) on pissing the proceeds up the wall, and not enough actually running and growing the business.
There is an argument that we could have achieved our objectives a lot more quickly, if we had spent less time on this sort of fun and games, and more actually working. But stuff that. If you’re not in business to have at least some personal amusement, what on earth are you doing here at all?
Enjoy the journey…
