Retirement drink with Alan April 2008
**************************************************************************************************************
July 2010
I have known gurugeoffrey for over 30 years. When I was teaching I taught his daughters and so knew him as a caring father. I also worked with him in the RNLI where I first saw his leadership qualities and decision making ability, as a lifeboatman.
Since early retirement from teaching 15 years ago I have been self employed working mainly in sales. Throughout this period I have come to know Geoffrey the businessman and have regularly sought his advice and expertise to progress my business. At times this has taken the form of informal advice and at other times there has been more formal mentoring.
As I had no business experience when I started it is thanks largely to Geoffrey’s mentoring that I have managed to remain successfully self-employed for the last 15 years.
The best advice therefore I could give to anyone either starting a business or already in a successful business is to make use of Geoffrey’s vast mentoring experience, skills and discipline, to help you as an individual become even better than you already are and thus make your business even more successful than it already is.

I am so glad that I discovered your blog Thought for the Day | geoffreyprince, while surfing the net. Fabulous contribution, I have checked out a few of your other posts and found some great information too. Just wanted to say that there is so much garbage out there and it is nice to know some people still put time into managing their sites. Thanks a ton for helping to bring awareness to the need for real solutions.

Dear Geoffrey
Thank you so much for a FAB talk last night. You were speaking from the heart, and it all made sense. Lots of positive comments were said to us on the night, and hopefully some of them will make on the website.
I had a look at you new website. Great, but you need the picture at the top!!!!!!! That picture just works, because personally I feel the top is “too dark” at the moment. You are such a lively/positive person, so the black top is not “really you”. I’m just being honest and straight!
Otherwise, keep well and look after yourself.

Geoffrey is one the most motivating people I have ever met. His daily blog always help start the day in a positive way. He was kind enough to speak for the CEPN Business Forum and the reviews from members were excellent. I would recommend that everyone, from business owners, general managers to enthusiastic employees have a look at his website and follow his blogs or enrol for his training sessions. He is truly inspirational. Keep up the good work Geoffrey.

Just a quick note of thanks for your presentation and talk at the recent CMI meeting and for taking the time to follow up on our subsequent conversation. Your energy and enthusiasm is an inspiration to us all.

Hi Geoffrey, that was brilliant. Can’t wait to see what the more tips are, they should be really good. Just like the funny story about your wife as well. Just shows that you need a good sense of humour when you write…and speak in public.

Dear Geoffrey,
It was great to hear from you and I am looking forward to reading your new book.
I know that despite (or even because of) your health issues you are even more determined to pass on your knowledge and experience. Even though we have only met a couple of times (BRE and I did come over to see you and admire the magnificent views of the Mersey that you command) I know you are a person of great integrity and in life it is always a privilege and honour to have been invited to share time with someone like yourself.
Geoffrey, I wish you continued success and remember that your half full glass is always a reminder of just how much more potential you have!
Kindest Regards,

Hi Geoffrey,
I am very sorry to hear this, but I understand why you are doing it. I will miss you, but I suspect that I will still see you around because I cannot see you sitting back in an armchair resting on your laurels for long. I certainly hope you will be around because I have really enjoyed working with you, and time spent with you is not only instructive, but also fun.
I will keep in touch
Best wishes to you and your family

Dear Geoffrey
Just a quick note of thanks.
I seem to have written a thoroughly researched and systematically compiled business plan. At over forty pages, it was an awful lot more work than the back-of-the-envelope version I had at the start of the BSB Business Start-up course, back in April. However I sense it’s going to be much more useful than the original; and the processes I have learned from you, will be handy in the future too.
As I look forward to seeing how this venture of mine turns out, it’s good to know I have a good foundation of work to send me on my way, and keep me on course too.
Thanks again for all your help.

Geoffrey is an excellent business advisor with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. He has had a lifetime of hands on experience of owning and running several very successful companies ranging from ‘Hi Tech Chemicals’ to ‘State Of The Art Boat Designing and Manufacture’. He is a real business entrepreneur with a vision to making businesses both work and become very successful. He had the insight to convert and old 150 year house in New Brighton on the Wirral into what has become a top Four Crown Hotel on Merseyside. He ran this hotel for several years. Geoffrey does part time lecturing in the Business Studies Department at Hugh Baird College in Liverpool and has been heavily involved with assisting many Liverpool ladies and gentlemen to set up their own successful businesses through the European Council N.E.S. programme run in conjunction with the Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce and Hugh Baird College.
I am one of these fortunate gentlemen. Geoffrey has a charming personality and genuinely wants to see businesses thrive on Merseyside as we approach the Liverpool, ‘European City for Culture in 2008′. Geoffrey is a First class person and I can highly recommend him to anyone who wants to succeed.

Geoffrey is fiercely loyal and single minded in his efforts to fulfil his role. Hard working and reliable, Geoffrey is very thorough and will cover every aspect of the task asked of him. His ability to be persistent serves him well. I thoroughly endorse Geoffrey’s work as a Motivational and Team building Guru and will be asking him to come back again to work with another one of our teams and will recommend him to other divisions within the company.
