Top Small Business Site of the Week - Phoenix from the Ashes
June 30, 2007
Hi, Thanks for visiting. You might want to click here to sign up to my RSS feed, so you don't miss anything important.
Top Small Business Web Site of the week award goes to Phoenix from the Ashes. In the UK, business failure is still seen as a form of social disease by the vast majority. It seems that in the USA, everyone accepts that you have to fail a few times, before you get it right, but over here, if you’re not perfect the first time, you’re a total failure who can’t be trusted.
If you think that’s bad, you should know that talking about bankruptcy in the UK is a big no no. That is why Phoenix from the Ashes - Ian Denny’s blog is so wonderful and inspiring. Instead of hiding under a rock when his business went under, he got onto the Internet and began blogging about it. He’s picked himself up, learned from his mistakes and began his business all over again.Â
I wish Ian the very best of luck, and whether you’re starting out in business, or you’ve hit a rocky patch yourself, you should check out Ian’s blog, and follow his journey as he revives Phoenix.

Thanks Cath. It means so much that people can find it in themselves to appreciate that “failure” can be seen as a beginning rather than the end.
I do sincerely hope that the attitude in the UK is changing. I told everyone I could. And in fact, very shortly, once I’ve concluded negotiations with creditors from the “ashes”, I will tell everyone I know in our local small business community by email.
Why not? Let’s see what people really think when you publicise your failure rather than shy away from it.
