Prioritise and Focus!

Thanks to all who attended this weeks Growth Workshop in Southampton just before Christmas! The common challenge that this group of business owners shared was focusing and prioritising. Getting caught up in the day-to-day running of our businesses, we can sometimes forget to focus on those very important (but less urgent) tasks that are key to achieving our goals. Make sure you take time out every week to plan and really focus on the tasks that are going to take you closer to your goals!

Thanks to all who attended and thanks for the kind comments below, there where some great "aha" moments on the day. Thanks for the great comments below:

"Thank you for providing the space to think through lots of business growth challenges"
Steve Macklin - Pure IT

"Excellent workshop, bags of energy and lots of things to focus on. My priorities have changed and what I thought was the most important is now not!"



"Engaging workshop delivered cleverly by inspiring experts in the field of business"
Thom and Alison - Dancewise Studios

"Excellently presented, great to be led through the process of prioritising our key actions"
Rich Curtis - The Root of IT

Take Time Out to Celebrate!

All too often we spend so some much time being busy that we rarely take time to stop, reflect and celebrate what has been achieved. At Clareon we encourage all our clients to take time out and enjoy the journey. After a successful year Clareon took Trevor and Opinder from LAPD Architects out for a Mercedes AMG Driving experience at Mercedes Benz World. Mike Paton and Mark Spolander rode in the back while Trevor and Opinder put the high performance cars through their paces. After an hour of 500 BHP fun it was time enjoy a steak lunch. Very well done LAPD Architects for a great year and thank you for the referrals!

Clareon Summer Golf Break

We know what it is like to be a busy business owner so we decided to take our clients away for a few days to relax on the golf course and maybe indulge in one or two spa treatments. The latest trip was recently held at the Old Thorns Manor Golf and Spa Hotel in Hampshire. A great time was had by all with lots of great business ideas shared over a beer. The golf was won by Mark Spolander's team on the final tee with Mike Paton's team needing to hole a 5 foot putt to draw the match - ahh better luck next time!

If you would like to join us at our next golf break please email  Mark Spolander or call 01865 987 138 www.clareon.co.uk






For some it was all a bit too much fun or too many beers the night before... :)
