Beach, please.

I’ve found a new way to get clients offers.

It involves me and a beach.

Apparently, my clients land offers when I go on holiday.

I was sitting on a beach in St. Ives this time when I got the message.

Another client had received an offer.

This is the third time in a row a client has landed an offer while I’ve been away from home.

So yeah, I think I need to take more holidays.

Preferably at a beach.

I don’t think my daughter would argue with that.

My clients aren’t always eager to message me when they know I’m away on holiday.

I tell them they absolutely SHOULD message me when they get an offer.

My wife and daughter know the deal: when on holiday, no meetings, and the occasional scrolling and emails after bed time.

But when a client gets an offer, I’m jumping on that call.

Because I’m helping someone win.

Not replying to a boss who thinks their problem is more important than my time off.

I’m helping a client work through the final stages of what they’ve worked so hard on.

And helping them earn a lot more money too.

It’s honestly the most rewarding and fun part of my job.

I love it.

And I want to celebrate it with you too, some day soon.
