“I built a practice holding myself to a standard of 20 meetings a week – nearly to the point of burnout. Since, joining FFG, as hard as I work, they have worked just as hard to support me and put time back into my week. With back-office support, coaching and joint work opportunities I have turned a great practice into a business that will create generational wealth for my sons.”
