President's Pen: CPLP and the future of our profession – from fuzzy to focused

companies. Increasingly, business leaders want a designation

The Six Biggest Hurdles Facing Consultants and Coaches and How
to Step over Them with Ease©
“In
seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast
attained it, thou art a fool.”
--Lord
Chesterfield
Having the realization that there are only 24 hours in a day,
seven days in a week, and only one of you, the harsh reality
sets in; you are limited in your income-producing abilities. You
can only do so much before you are maxed out and hitting your
ceiling in your income and growth potential. Now, what do you

Chapter Meeting News…
A significant number of members have requested luncheon

networking opportunities, and all the other benefits of chapter
membership.
See you next week! |
