We’re so nearly there now! The DebtFree Playbook has been launched with a free event enjoyed by all. People are having amazing success with it, showing debt decreases of £300-£600 in their first month. That’s particularly exciting at a time when debt has become our No. 1 national concern - above the war and climate change. (Abbey National 2007)

Our beautiful site, Holding Your Dream is nearly finished and will be launching soon. As so often happens, we are most sorely tested when we’re close to the finish post. I have had pneumonia since Christmas, although I didn’t really know for a while, just wondered why I was so tired! On the plus side, our team has expanded and we now have enough people to cope with all the work.

The other day we had a meeting with our friend, Bill Blake. We’re making a very special video with him (more soon). After our meeting, which inspired us all, he sent us this video clip. Bill said he “saw it and thought of you”. When I watched it, I felt honoured and moved. See what you think… Is leadership really a gift? Sometimes, it feels like a burden. Truth is, it carries much responsibility and it is hard, but it’s also more fun and better paid. I wouldn’t swap it for the world - what about you?
