19.01.2022 We had a great presentation from our Guest Speaker last week, Josie Smith from First National Action Realty Ipswich. She filled us in on a lot we didn’t know about real estate in the Ipswich area. We were updated on how COVID-19 has impacted on the real estate market, talked about the predictions for the current regional and metropolitan markets, and the factors that are impacting on selling and buying property. Josie also talked about remote working environments and how thi...s has impacted on the properties that are becoming popular with around 30% of the workforce still working from home. Josie is experiencing a big demand for properties at the moment, and is always looking for people who are interested in selling their property. She is looking for any property owners in Ipswich that need help selling their property. Here's a short video that helped us get to know Josie better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9IOsgaoN9c See more
19.01.2022 This week we're reminded of the quote from Bob Proctor that 'accountability is the glue that ties commitment to the result.' Happy Friday everone. #bniaccellerate #inspirationalquotes #businessnetworking #referralnetwork #giversgain
19.01.2022 Paul Manteit of Fusion Financial Group - Accountants and Business Advisors wants a seat at our table. No, not because he’s hungry, but because that’s where most of us make our big decisions that can have major financial impacts without the right advice. @paul.manteit wants to be there to make sure it doesn’t cost us our hard earned money down the track. Paul is well suited to give this advice as he has a Diploma of Justice, Diploma of Financial Services, Bachelor of Business ...(Accounting), is a Member of Chartered Accountants, and Registered Tax Agent. His focus is on decision making. You don’t know what you don’t know. He spoke to us about being wary of getting financial advice from ‘barbecue accountants’, social media, or forums. If you’re thinking of starting a business, you should include Paul in the process. The structure is important, and there are a lot of different options to keep your financially secure and protected. Decisions are important every day in business, and we need to make sure we have the smartest people we know included in those decisions. This means including Paul in your business decisions that have financial ramifications. It could be your setup, financing, superannuation, sale plans, restructuring, hiring and firing, and more. Especially when it comes to buying major assets, you need to make sure that it will benefit you based on what it is, how much it costs, and how you pay for it. Employing people can be a minefield, so it’s important to keep your business protected when you do that. He wants to see your assets and your hard work protected. Paul is also keen to make sure that his clients know he’s there for them. It’s easier to reach out now and get the best advice BEFORE you make the decision, which costs you money it didn’t need to. For government grants and stimulus, Paul can help you navigate this minefield. There are a lot of potential risks for legal minefield, fines, and penalties if the application is later deemed to have been incorrect. A qualified accountant can help you get the outcome you want. Using an accountant to help you make decisions is like insuring yourself for the best outcome. Reach out to Paul if you have any questions. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

16.01.2022 Sonia Peterson of Virtual Biz Assist is on a mission - to help people and to give business owners back more time. What is a VA a Virtual Assistant. Sonia helped us understand what VA’s can do and how they can make business owners lives easier. So why do people use VA’s? It could be:... If you’re constantly busy doing things that aren’t earning you money. You don’t have enough work for someone on a permanent situation You may have projects or special situations where you just need an extra pair of hands. Sonia helped us understand the differences between using an Australian vs overseas VA. We also got a better understanding of how using a VA can be a great bridge until you’re in a position to be able to pay for an employee. VA’s work best independently. Sonia’s services include: Customer service and relations Document creation and formatting Email and calendar management File storage and management Content creation and social media Proof reading Sales Reception services Data entry Local temp services Transcription Research Process planning Ad hoc tasks as required What you get from VBA is assistance, more of your time back, a better work life balance, solutions with no lock-in contracts and peace of mind. If you’re getting inundated as we head into the silly season, Sonia could be your blessing in disguise.

13.01.2022 Our resident Wed Developer Pablo A Santamaria from 8 Web Design, Hosting & Domains. Pablo gave us a history lesson on the introduction of the web and websites and how they have evolved from looking like a static brochure to interactive sites. As a creative entrepreneur Pablo started out with his first company "W Creators" when he left Uni in his homeland of Columbia, and worked in various IT companies when he came to Australia until he set up 8 Web Design, Hosting & ...Domains in 2016. Pablo got asked some interesting questions: Why is the Number 8 in your name? Pablo was inspired by Richard Bransons lead of choosing a name that can be used across different company types. Template versus Build website? e.g. Wix vs Wordpress. The template ones are like you are renting the space with them; whereas a Wordpress site is like your own piece of real estate. If you're looking for a reliable, creative and professional web developer then give Pablo A Sanataria a call from 8 Web Design, Hosting & Domains

12.01.2022 With nearly $1.5 million in referrals passed in the last 12 months within BNI Accelerate (Ipswich), we’re always looking for reputable and reliable businesses to become part of our network. This week, we were delighted to hear from Gail Rogerson and Leisa Gill. Gail is from Carbon who educates us in the fine points of building solid referral networks. This week we looked at contact spheres and power teams. Each person’s contact sphere is the foundation of referrals we can ...give. We work to help enable everyone in the chapter to expand their contact sphere, our relationships within the chapter, and external contacts. Our contact spheres are all about creating referrals to other businesses and receiving them in return. Power teams are those we work with intuitively in our line of business and who share a synergy with you. The best part of this, is with a balanced contact sphere, you can usually expect around 50% of your referrals to come from the people you know, because you’re able to refer them as well. Leisa is the franchise owner of BNI Brisbane South West & Toowoomba - Australia. Leisa has been involved in BNI for a long time and contact spheres and power teams have been an outstanding key element of businesses that give and receive referral business. It was great to see how many businesses could benefit from the trusted relationships developed within a strong referral network. It’s built on trust, reciprocity, and proven systems. Power teams maximise this by concentrating on the synergy of services you offer, and the results you are looking for. If you want to know how to create a solid referral network strategically, reach out to anyone in BNI Accelerate and come along to a Zoom catchup to see what it’s all about. http://bit.ly/BNI-Accelerate #bniaccelerate #referralnetwork #referralsuccess #giversgain

06.01.2022 We had another great meeting today, and a fantastic presentation from Cathy Vo at Springfield Legal Service. Cathy grew up in Ipswich and lived most of her childhood in Goodna. She completed her law degree in 2005 and shortly after joined Springfield Legal Service where she has worked ever since. While Cathy is skilled in all sorts of legal matters, her seat with BNI Accelerate is in the area of Family Law. Cathy filled us in on all the different ways she’s able to help her c...lients when a relationship starts to break down. It is in her nature to be understanding and empathetic, and she provides independent legal advice tailored to the individual’s needs. She was able to fill us in on the difference between Binding Financial Agreements and Consent Orders, as well as how current COVID-19 situation is impacting settlements. If you or anyone you know is considering a separation or divorce, we can highly recommend speaking to Cathy straight away to get the facts. Next week we’re excited to hear from Mary Mackenzie, who holds the seat of Counsellor within our network of business professionals.
06.01.2022 Congratulations to our incoming President, Vice President and Treasurer!
04.01.2022 For most businesses, happy staff are productive and contribute to greater profitability. For our last meeting in October, we were lucky enough to hear from Mary Mackenzie of Mary Mackenzie: Counselling and Coaching. Mary is a Registered Counsellor who does in person, zoom, or remote support with her clients. She provided some really great information on how businesses can use a valuable resource like her to supplement their EAP program, and helped us understand the difference... between what a psychiatrist, psychologist, and counsellor can do for people. As a counsellor, her skills generally suit those people going through a hard time, rather than having a diagnosed condition. Mary was able to introduced us to Presenteeism (when staff are not happy and they just do the bare minimum) and the impact of personal stress at work. It was also really interesting to look at the cost benefits of a business running an EAP vs replacing unhappy staff. Why choose Mary for your business EAP. She can tailor packages, offer an onboarding workshop, her service is personalized, she is committed and trusted, and staff are guaranteed to have the same counsellor each session. #counsellingservices #EAP #happyemployees
