Understanding balance. That message really resonated with me. Amanda encouraged me to value my worth and constantly took me back to my why. After 12 months, my whole business changed and my turnover and profitability increased.

It took 2 minutes on my first call with Amanda to have complete confidence in her - she knows her stuff and has incredible knowledge and wisdom. I would urge all practice owners, new or established, to engage with her so she can help you make major improvements.

I was hesitant to join The Balanced Firm Community until I started my practice. ...I've learnt so much already by asking one question, looking at past questions, comments, monthly Q&As. It feels like such a safe community.
