I have always found that the great benefits of summer holidays are not only the chance to recharge your batteries, but also a fantastic opportunity to reboot your plans for the year.
Most successful advisers start the year with a clear plan of goals they want to achieve in the coming 12 months. Unfortunately, life sometimes has a habit of getting in the way, and by the half-year mark we can find we are already slipping behind on our objectives.
Then, just as the implications of this underachievement are starting to dawn on us, we are thrust headlong into the July and August holiday season.
