How do you interrupt an athlete who has just won an Olympic Gold? 🥇

This was my dilemma this week (first-world problems)

A client has been off inspiring the nation in Paris for a couple of weeks, and working towards their goal, which was achieved 👏 

At the same time, the USD has moved between 3-5% in their favour.

As they earn USD through the year, this is a good time for them to move some funds back, however, I'm sure it's the furthest thing from their mind, and I don't blame them!

This is where my role and my commitment to them comes in, you concentrate on your sports, and I'll let you know when important things happen that can affect your money.

Even though I thought long and hard about sending an update, I did anyway.

I always advise my clients or potential clients that I'm available, reliable and proactive on their behalf, so I couldn't let a little thing like the Olympics get in my way 😂
