When Stevie enters your business world he will start in two places, bridging the gap in all areas of your life, one by understanding where you currently are right now, to becoming more aware of where you want to get to in the near future.
The second place he visits is having a full overview of the Financial Strategy of your business, from wealth management support, accountancy support through to the financial management structure and support within your business as a whole.
One of Stevie's favourite quotes is: "Knowing your numbers' is a fundamental precept of business." - Bill Gates
So the question is, how did Stevie Kidd meet Craig Rattray?
Just like all the other partners within the genius board, Craig came into Stevie's life for a reason. Well.. Craig stood out, he stood out on the Masterclass, and on so many levels.
Once the Masterclass was completed, Craig then immediately aligned himself onto The Stevie Kidd Pathway. When Craig began his coaching journey with Stevie Kidd he was focusing on business strategy and neuroscience development and the journey so far has been extraordinary. It is during this time in working in partnership with Craig that Stevie believes that within his lifetime and business experience, Craig is certainly a genius within his field, and that is why Stevie has chosen to have Craig Rattray a part of the genius board in supporting our clients.
A huge point that has to be made around Craig Rattray and also all of the other geniuses at the table is a simple one, when we engage they realise very quickly the obsession, and relentlessness, that we all have of paying more attention to the client rather than ourselves and the main reason why these partnerships with Stevie Kidd are highly successful is because the values are the same, our main focus is around our clients. It is about us using the skill set, and the toolkits that we have acquired over many many years and coming together as one, to really understand our clients and help eliminate any pain that they may have.
We want to create and support a beginning, a middle and an end way beyond what our clients can even imagine. Through facilitation at the correct intervals, we provide the clients the tools that allow them to execute the plan, and gain the business that they desire and deserve.
