Here’s today’s blog, somewhat later than usual as I’m in “catch up” mode after working all weekend at The Spring Client Retreat (which was extremely interesting and inspirational). Yesterday, during my train ride home from London to Manchester, I reviewed and answered most of this week’s crop of weekly reports from Owners and Managers. I’m

I took a day away from clients yesterday, uninterrupted by any phone or Skype/Zoom calls, no meetings with other people, no contact with my support team – complete solitude.

I’ve recently taken possession of the Full Focus Planner system created by personal development coach Michael Hyatt. You can see and read all about it here: https://fullfocusplanner.com This post isn’t an advert for the system – I’m not getting paid any introducer’s fees or commissions.

I’ve recently been reviewing some client data that proves you can double the average daily production of a Principal over a 36-month period.
