In 2005 Laurence founded Avagio Limited, a publishing company specialising in consumer and business magazines which were distributed regionally throughout the UK. Despite some very challenging times during the financial crisis of 2008 which saw the business close, the core brands themselves survived and are now owned by one of the UK's leading publishers: Northcliffe Media. (Local World since 2013) Laurence's story relating to this period is moving and very emotional as he explains the highs and lows associated with running a million pound business and then losing it. Despite the heartache of losing everything as recently as 2009, his determination to bounce back, move forward and build it all over again is unprecedented. This latest book is an education manual, a collection of stories and references. It quotes the works of others who have inspired the author; it features the opportunities and challenges of life and it encapsulates Laurence's views and anecdotes which have inspired him personally over the years. It is packed full of recommendations and action points to get you moving, enjoy the moment and live your life to its full potential
