On The Rise

Back in May we decided to go through Seth Godin’s The Dip and focused our attention on our existing financial advisor coaching clients, completing the book, a new web site and tradeshow booth which left little or now energy reserves for attracting new financial advisor coaching clients.

Even though we were doing some financial advisor coaching client interviews and financial advisor speaking from June – September, our new client closing ratio was abysmal because we simply didn’t have the attention, energy and space to take on any new opportunities.

They say that nature abhors a vacuum and we are now attracting loads of new financial advisor coaching and financial advisor speaking clients in the absence of working on completing the book, a new web site and tradeshow booth.

Now we are on The Rise and I am taking the time now to make sure that we stay there by not getting bogged down with $25.00 an hour work in 2009.

$25.00 an hour work has snuck up on us via the success that we have experience this quarter

Here is a memo that I sent to Laura this morning.

With a view to running our business versus it running us, I have three non-coaching days from Monday, December 8^th – Wednesday, December 10^th.

Writing this memo and this blog were today’s first actions

Dear Laura,

With a view to;

• Our upcoming 2009 planning
• Having gone through The Dip and being on The Rise

In preparation for our upcoming meeting please update your project list / to do list by looking back over November and look forward into December.

Please invest some time and answer the following questions beside each item on your list;

• What can a virtual assistant help you with?
• What can an on site assistant help you with?

I am doing the same thing.
