So it’s been one year since we’ve incorporated Goosey goo and wow what has been achieved in that year is absolutely mental considering we were homeless without a pot to p**s in to begin with! From absolute 0 to just shy of 60k in turn over, I know not huge or great by any standard of small business but for someone with all odds against them to make it work is huge! We started the business in April last year, since then we’ve supplied 2,000 Irish families with our eczema friendly clothing, received amazing reviews and feedback, been featured in 6 newspapers, a national TV appearance, multiple podcast and video features, lecturing students, judging startup ideas in an accelerator programme and above all we’ve our own home! Back when I was in addiction I never thought I’d amount to anything more than what I was, constantly trying to do jobs that never made me happy, I suffer with adhd and found it very hard to stick to anything but I found myself through having a family and setting up my own business, all of my success boils down to two things, hope and purpose. My purpose is to be the best dad and partner to my partner and child. Hope and a belief is what built my business, once I identified my problem and what I thought could solve it I could see the future of Goosey goo and that was the driving force that built it from the ground up because I could see the bigger picture, if you’re someone who’s going through a tough time or addiction or any sort of life troubles, keep the faith and take it one day at a time even when the world is bleak all you’ve got to do is wake up and go to sleep get through the day even if it takes 30 years there’s more meant for us all.
But on a real note, I couldn’t have done it without the support of the Irish people, the people of finglas who supported me at the very beginning and the newer more recent customers and supporters. I’d no grants or funding but I’d some fu***ng savage people behind me and that’s what really got us here so thank you all from the bottom of my heart and the guys (Clodagh and Nicole!).
