👉 Final thoughts for the week. Sure we are all under pressure every day especially if you are a SME but take a step back and think... ➡️ What have you achieved and how? At Penrhos Spirits.... ✅️ We started making gin in the little still. Aldi UK must have wondered why so much vodka was being bought in Leominster. Fun 👉 Now we have a proper still. ✅️ I was not very good at making at first. 👉 Now we make award winning liquid. ✅️ We sold locally. 👉 Now we have sold at 30,000ft, with easyJet, have national listings at Sainsbury's and our bottle has even been resold empty on eBay! ✅️ We sold in a glass bottle. 👉 We innovated and took the lead to be the first to launch a bottle made from 100% ♻️ aluminium. Brave and desperate at the time. ✅️ We did it all ourselves. 👉 Now we have great people helping. Robert Cooper, Alison Forrestal and Rupert Firbank. Sometimes we all need to stand back and to see what we have achieved even when it feels tough. #retail #sme #economy #retail
