"Vision is not enough - it must be combined with venture."
That's what the slip of paper in my fortune cookie at the Chinese Restaurant told me last Friday night. A wise saying which I folded carefully and slipped into my credit card holder.
The lady at Chan's Kitchen in Devizes where we eat from time to time was telling me, excitedly, how their current small premises on New Park Street will be just a takeaway in the new year as they move their restaurant to "The Elm Tree" a few hundred yards across the town. Vision (for there's not, I don't think, another eat-in Chinese in Devizes) and venture.
We have a vision for Well House Consultants in 2006, and we're working hard on the venture. Early days to shout too loud, but watch this space. Every year brings something interesting!
