Pathfinder club

The Pathfinder Club gives you structured time to work on your business with other like minded business owners. It is a platform for business owners to further develop their business, to maximise profit, create a motivational environment and help you take the business to the next level. A recent meeting of the Pathfinder club focused on goal setting, where John Harris shared his knowledge and tools to help the members effectively plan their business and personal goals. The peer group discussions then helped fellow members to find solutions for potential obstacles for the achievement of those goals. To find out more about the Pathfinder club or attend a meeting with no obligation, then visit the club web site at www.pathfinderclub.co.uk
