The challenge

Busy season always crowded out growth. Goals lived in his head, and progress was impossible to measure.

The approach

Together we wrote a personal business plan on a single page: focus clients, three growth priorities, monthly actions and a simple way to check progress.

The results

Advisory work grew by a quarter over the year, and the plan became the agenda for his reviews with firm leadership.

“For the first time I knew exactly what to do each month to grow.”
