What does a typical day look like for you? The first item of the day is to update my checklist for what I will accomplish during the day. I check and respond to any client emails. We have a staff meeting Monday mornings and try to do a quick stand-up meeting during the week. I allocate 30 minutes to stay current on the latest ACA changes impacting our clients. I try to take a two-hour lunch, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.; this is a standing joke with my co-workers, but most lunches provide a personal, quality time with clients. I spend most of the afternoon dealing with issues and setting up appointments with prospective clients.
