So this is what happened when I said to my team they could work when, where and how they wanted (back in 2018)..

Contrary to popular opinion at the time..

they didn't stop coming to the office 

they didn't move to the Bahamas and work from a beach 

they didn't all start working from...

Struggling to attract new clients?

And can't seem to pinpoint why? 

You may be swimming in the sea of sameness.

You know the stuff that really stands out that you want to keep for future reference.

How do you organise it all?

How do you take notes from podcasts or Youtube videos?

If you don't do you wish you did?

You have to STOP relying on just referrals

And heres why 

It’s not a strategy, which means it’s not something you can plan and forecast around
