I’m Bob Gorton, the founder of Hard Hat Business Advice.
My story will be familiar to many talented executives looking for a for business opportunities, but that isn’t the only reason I founded Hard Hat Business Advice and the Hard Hat Business Recovery Partnership.
I’m enormously excited by the business of business – I love the fact that people are constantly going into business with new products, new services and new ways of doing things, and I’m grievously disappointed by the fact that we accept a catastrophic failure rate for new businesses like these.
Imagine the public outcry we would hear if 70% of the travelling public consistently failed to reach their destination, or 70% of students failed their exams?
Yet established thinking accepts a failure rate of 70% for new businesses as normal.
In the current economic climate, the situation is even worse. The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) reports that over 100 businesses a week are closing down, even though many of them are viable, money making businesses that should not be in this position.
I founded Hard Hat because I know that this statistic can be radically improved.
The techniques I’ve developed really do work. Every time Hard Hat touches a business I help them to make more money - but on my own I can only support between 20 and 30 firms a year.
My vision is to dramatically improve the statistics for commercial success in the UK.
I want as many companies as possible to benefit from what we offer, so my goal is to develop a group of a dozen Hard Hatters in each of the major UK business conurbations. Then we’ll think about overseas...
I’ve chosen the executive partnership route to achieve this because that’s the best way to attract and retain the kind of people we need to deliver the Hard Hat vision – people with the know-how and experience that comes from years of running successful businesses – and the battle honours to prove it.
Is that you? If so I hope you’ll consider joining me in the Hard Hat enterprise...
