A Note From Rene’
I hope 2023 is off to a great start for everyone. I had a great 2-day retreat with my EOS Advisory Board clients last week, and every company that participates had their best year ever in 2022! I’m really proud of that group and how they hold each other accountable.

So, I thought it appropriate to include a couple of articles in this month’s newsletter on the topic. I hope you find some useful information in both articles.
As always, if I can help in any way, I would love to hear from you.
Kind regards,
René
