I decided last week that I needed to step away from things.

To clear my head.

You see, there is a lot going on here at the moment...

• One client is about to buy another business and we are helping them secure it for the right price and support them with their due diligence
• We have just finished supporting another with panel interviews as they look to appoint a new Managing Director, allowing the business owner to step back and do other things
• We are advising another on setting up a franchise for their business so they go from being a local company to a national one - within the next six months
• A new client has come to us with financial issues that means if things don't change quickly he won't be around this time next year
• Another has just been shortlisted for an industry award and needs to optimise the "noise" about it now - irrespective if they win or not
• And a brand new client has just generated £6k from a 45-minute webinar (and will go from zero to £300k a year within the next few months) - with no financial control in the business - we are helping with that too!
• And we are putting the final touches on something that we will launch in the coming weeks - something we are really excited about

I don't say this for effect - just that it doesn't matter what business you are in - if you are good, you will be busy.

And you need to clear your head sometimes.

Going slower to go faster.

So this is where I spent last Friday morning.

Wells-Next-The-Sea.

Norfolk.

Just me and the dog.

5 miles of fresh air, sand and the cold(ish) North Sea.

Then a couple of dog biscuits and what seemed like a gallon of water (the dog), and a coffee (mine) - and I was back on it.

So what are you going to do to clear the head and get things done?

Speak soon,

James
