Welcome to Take on Goliath
Our passion is helping YOU succeed
We support SME businesses, founders, stores and anyone working with them to realise their full potential and help guide them on their journey.
About Us
I am a facilitator of learning and exploring, a guide and mentor dedicated to people and helping them to explore different ways to grow and communicate.
My reason for starting Take on Goliath was a simple one. To help people succeed in their goals both in business and personal development. Supporting people to learn new ideas, seek more from themselves and others and to have a clearer picture of what can be achieved. All the while doing our best to link the right businesses to the right stores to provide a service and platform for growth. All of this is about people.
How can we Support
No two businesses are the same, nor is the services we provide. We tailor to the businesses needs and add in and remove areas of support as we build and grow the businesses. What might start focussed on E Commerce might switch to a Independent Store as we see opportunity.
Take on Goliath and Svaneti Tours: Supporting Growth Through Meaningful Partnerships
Take on Goliath is built around a simple but powerful mission: helping entrepreneurs, SME businesses, founders, and retail partners achieve sustainable growth. By combining mentoring, business guidance, and practical learning, the platform encourages people to develop new skills, strengthen communication, and discover opportunities that help their businesses thrive.
Connecting Business Development with Authentic Travel Experiences
One of the ways small businesses can expand their reach is by collaborating with trusted partners in other industries. Tourism is an excellent example, where local expertise and professional guidance create memorable experiences for customers while supporting regional economies. Companies that value quality service and long-term relationships share many of the same principles promoted by Take on Goliath.
Svaneti Tours as an Example of Local Excellence
For travelers interested in exploring one of Georgia's most breathtaking mountain regions, svaneti offers professionally organized tours that showcase the unique culture, history, and landscapes of Svaneti. Working with experienced local guides allows visitors to enjoy authentic experiences while contributing to the development of local communities and businesses.
Shared Values for Sustainable Success
Both Take on Goliath and Svaneti Tours demonstrate how people-focused organizations can create lasting value. Whether by mentoring entrepreneurs, connecting businesses with new opportunities, or delivering unforgettable travel experiences, both emphasize trust, continuous learning, and meaningful relationships. These shared values help individuals and businesses grow while making a positive impact on the communities they serve.
