I liked the idea of the client focus, Sam - looking for opportunity as well as setting goals. It triggered me to do a sort of concept map to see where the two approaches collided, that makes planning next steps easier. As an 'ideas' person it is that narrowing down to what should be done NOW that I sometimes struggle with!</p>Sam Howley commented on 'There's No Hovering'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345339ee69e2013487dffaaf970c2010-09-30T19:39:10Z2010-09-30T19:39:10ZSam Howleyhttp://www.customercradle.com/articles/Get-Clients/The W.H.

<p>Eg.</p>
<p>What is the most valuable thing your clients need that you don't currently provide.</p>

<p>What is the fastest growing segment of your client market ?</p>
<p>Thanks<br />

I think that so many people get stuck on security that they forget that if they are not changing and moving forward, they are actually moving backwards. I found that when I had defined my goals, it got so much easier to move forward.</p>
