Why Put a Bow Tie on a Llama?: How a crazy idea can change your life and transform your business. (Paperback & Illustrated, 8th Jan 2020.)

Why Put A Bow Tie On A Llama?
Have you ever thought, “Is this my life?”
Stressed and unhappy at work, Celia Gaze thought to herself one day: “Surely there must be more to life than this?” She resigned from her high-powered health management role and started transforming a neglected farm into an award-winning wedding venue. She faced nearly every type of challenge an entrepreneur can face – tribunals, near bankruptcy, court hearings, staff issues, system problems – and survived to tell the tale.
But the moment that transformed her business from a struggle to a success was the moment she put a bow tie on a llama. Everyone thought she was crazy – why on earth would you do that?
But it turns out that the ‘crazy’ ideas are often the ones that change your life. This book is a roadmap for uncovering your crazy idea and implementing it.
From the pitfalls and problems to the practical details of making your idea happen, this is a roadmap for anyone who wants more out of life.
So, who have I written this book for?
Wannabe Business Owners
Maybe you are fed up and frustrated with your job, and you’d love the freedom to be a business owner / entrepreneur. Perhaps you already have an idea about starting a business, and you need some guidance on how to test your idea and implement it.
Business Owners
Maybe you are a business owner and your business just isn’t unique enough – it’s not standing out from a crowded marketplace, and you are looking for creative ways and help to achieve this.
Facing a Mid-life or Quarter-life Crisis
Could it be that you are fed up with your work and reflecting on your career so far – you want more out of your life, but you are wondering what on earth you can do?
Supplier in the Wedding or Hospitality Industry
Maybe you are a supplier and you want to grow your business and are searching for inspiration.
Farmer / Land Owner
Or perhaps you are a farmer and are looking for ways to diversify your farm – you’re looking into whether hosting weddings could be the answer, but you aren’t sure how to start.


What you’ve all got in common is a crazy idea. If you have that idea, don’t let anyone stop you; take the gamble. You only have one life, don’t waste it all thinking ‘what if’? Live your life now and give it a go – what have you got to lose?
