A New Chapter
The reason for the offline weekend is our firm's first ever planning meeting.
With the death of our partner last year, we took in additional partners. To date, we will be 6.
With that many, we really had to meet to plan the future of this endeavor. We had verbalize where we are, visualize where we want to be and venture how to get there.
That took the whole weekend. But since we brought in our respective families, it was also a bonding opportunity. And for me personally, it was family bonding time with my kids, since we went without my parents.
It was really supposed to be an offline weekend. But there was a time I needed access but unfortunately, my upgrade to Leopard threw off my bluetooth gprs modem settings. I had to retrieve the files I needed some other way.
Anyway, what we achieved were:
1. The agreement, in principle, to be partners. That's a given and without that, the whole weekend's point would be moot.
2. A crucial decision to relocate from Quezon City to the Ortigas Business District. Getting back to OBD was fine with me because my solo practice actually started there and I have fond memories of working in that area.
3. The timetable. We have set our formal opening on 08 August 2008, to capitalize on that "888" thing...
But we were five last weekend. Last night, we became 6.
I really believe we have found the right mix of people this time. Each person has a different field of expertise. Providentially, we compliment each other's skills.
In my opinion, this new firm will go far and will last a long time. That session was worth missing choir last Saturday.
The name? We really have not decided yet since we actually added another one last night.
Wish us all the best.
