Lunchtime at the Radisson SAS Belfast

The hotel are now delivering.

Service in conferencing is brilliant, starting with events manager
Billy making a personal appearance at 8.00am and hand-holding me
through my set up.

His personal search for my missing workbooks was excellent (they
arrived at 11.00am).

He also asked what Breathe Business was about and ASKED for my future
business if his department delivered today!

So far, so good.

I am working with a small group – which means a chance to play with
the material.

We are looking at alternative business models for expense sharing
partnerships.

Good conversation and great R&D for me.

Weather gorgeous as you can see from the photo.

The beach it ain’t – but a stimulating professional day with forward
thinking dentists.

Best bit so far – a business model for a £1 million pound practice
with £300k profit, in which the principals take 12 weeks annual
holiday and work 4 days a week for the other 40 weeks. Three days
clinical and one day of leadership.

Second best bit – meeting a newly recruited dental business manager.
