Toolbox Talk

Company Get-Togethers - why do them? We do one quarterly and it’s always an important event to get our clients together and away from the hurly-burly so they can focus on their business instead of continuing to be caught up in its grind. As well as an opportunity for us to showcase our program to trades business owners who may be interested in it - i.e. you. My Quarterly Intensive helps my clients get more out of my program which means they stay in it longer and helps them build bigger, better more successful businesses. It also builds community where the people on the same journey of growing their business can network, learn from each other and help each other grow. It helps build your confidence to talk to someone who's done the thing you're thinking about doing. Listen to this episode to find out more.

How much is enough? It's a question that obviously elicits a personal response from each of us so I’m not going to attempt to tell you the answer to what I think it should be.But I will point out how much could lead to making a mistake.Which begins when you blindly remain on a forward trajectory, getting lodged in that perpetual cycle of needing more - more money, more work, more success. But this want is never satisfied. There’s always more. Bigger, better things to buy. Though, I think it would be a shame to chase the dollar and realise later in life that materiality wasn’t what you were after. So when do you know when enough is?
