Links to People, Places, Ideas

I am delighted to be writing to you again this summer. These reflections don't come from under a beach umbrella, although I wish I were there. They do come from my reminiscences of when we began this odyssey toward ever-improving business success. And since then, top designers like you, many of them my clients from around the country, have overcome real or perceived limits and achieved what we call 'success beyond success.' 

These firms have already nearly mastered the basics; they are now aiming to take their businesses to ‘the next level,’ what ever that means for them. Many have already made it there, only to find that their vision can still be refined. When I am privileged to work with them one-on-one, we face head-on a full range of issues, including personal and professional balance, money and mojo, contracts and fees, attracting and keeping best clients, responding to the inner voice that keeps you up at night and getting to the heart of the big strategic question: what’s next? Sound familiar? The summer reading list begins later this week.
