We hope you enjoyed your weekend and chilled ready for an exciting, busy week after the Easter holidays. We are now INTERVIEWING for suitable global Founders, Funds and others to Present at our Special 4th July Footprints Family Office Conference https://lnkd.in/dcD_R33M Would love to hear from you so PM me for an interview 

Managing your time as a Founder is crucial to your progress and I start my working day Mon-Friday from 5am until 6pm last call. So when people dont show up for an e meeting or or late it is lack of respect to you as a Founder but also it is not a great working practice to be late for other people who are waiting on your call/meeting. Then not to show up and not to apologise is insulting. If I am late I apologise and ask to rebook. Though I share why? My time is valuable like your time is so 'RESPECT' is relevant. Enjoy your weekend 

We trust you had a great weekend? We had our https://lnkd.in/dSx2nqHU Event Brite sign up site hacked over the weekend. So here is the new link. We are adding the Speakers and Panel Discussions and Agenda. If you require the Brochure please request. Those of you who requested a Free ticket none where approved. Members and Family Offices/UHN/Investors can you re book. Apologies for the inconvenience.
