Friday 16th 2pm Interview Patrick Canion, page-144

Regardless of whether or not the "two large practices with 30-40 FPs each" are from Sentry, in terms of pure numbers we are now starting to show real progress.

The initial 9 practices of last January incl IPAC WA and SA etc., from memory (and much research at the time) numbered between them about 70 Financial Planners. Here we have just two further practices numbering 60-80 FPs alone. Those "2 practices" alone have doubled the first 5 months (Sept 16 to Jan 17) total of Planners using the service, and with PC stating that the rate of sign-ups is above that of the March Qtr (which averaged 4 practices/month) we should be looking at somewhere from 4-6 per month now as a rough guide.

We are clearly scaling at a faster rate now than ever in terms of Financial Planners and after all it's the number of Financial Planners rather that the number of Practices which is a better gauge of total "work" undertaken, and therefore profits being made.

No doubt some here are clearly bitter but I could care less about the SP and the complaints of the short-sighted traders or those with a propensity for superfluous complaints. Matters not.

I'm interested in the eventual achieving of LT goals NOT dotting every "i" or crossing every "t" to the satisfaction of some very obfuscatious and fastidious people here along the way.

"To me it's a matter of "will we get to the destination or not ?" rather than "why didn't we go on the route we agreed on?"

Very informative podcast and a source of further confidence for myself as a LT holder regardless of what the naysayers have to bitch about it.
