25.01.2022 School holidays and enjoying some family time with the kids. As travel was limited to within Queensland we decided it was time to visit the outback. Traveling to Townsville, Charters Towers, Hughenden, Winton and Richmond. We always meant to do the dinosaur trail when the kids were little. Thanks to COVID we are now making it happen. Just in time before my oldest finishes school this year and leaves home.

23.01.2022 They often say there are two certainties in life... death and taxes. . While we cant control or know when were going to die, but we sure can make a difference in minimising the tax we pay in our lifetime. . Here are some quick tax wins for you and your business.... . 1 Try to improve your situation before June 30.

Find someone who can help you quickly learn and navigate the world of business finances. . 5 If youre looking to learn more about exactly what deductions are available for you and your business this year, have you considered attending Business Hacks in 2020 - Get your business financially healthy? . Im helping 8 business owners truly master and understand their finances and setting them up to retire with enough money and peace of mind, whether thats 5, 10 or 20 years away. .

19.01.2022 Happy New Financial Year. Today being 1 July is the start of a fresh new financial year. I know COVID has thrown a spanner in the works for many businesses. Some businesses achieved their goals but for many it has been heart breaking to see all their years of work come to a grinding halt. At the end of each month and quarter is a great time to take 5 minutes/half an hour or more and reflect on what are the positives you have achieved and to regroup and refocus on what yo...u want to achieve now going forward under the current circumstances. It may feel overwhelming and where do you start, what should you focus on and make a priority. To help you get started you may want to grab a piece of paper and jot down all your thoughts, dreams, goals and plans and then pick only 2 or 3 to focus on for the next month or 90 days. Mark sure you then write your goals using the SMART outline of being Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relatable and Time specific. You have got this. Start small and take the first step towards a fresh new year/quarter in achieving success in business and your personal life. What is your goal for the 2020/2021 year?

19.01.2022 Would you like to attend Radiance 2020 ~ Illuminating The Strength Within. We are giving away 2 tickets for free. Follow the instructions below and you are then in with a chance.

15.01.2022 How time flies. So much has happened in 2 years.

14.01.2022 Did you know your superannuation works on the magic of compounding. Are you contributing extra every week or month?

13.01.2022 Budgets, budgets, budgets. . We all know we should have one for our business, but honestly, how many of us have sat down and properly set them up? . Here are my Top #3 tips for making the most of your budget, to help you save more in your business... . First things first, I always recommend to clients that they separate their personal bank account from the business bank account. You dont want to confuse the purpose of each account. . Next, you want to make a habit of reviewing your expenses and looking for areas you can save. A good rule of thumb I suggest is trying to reduce your total business expenses by 10% each year. . Start by aiming for 1% in savings across each expense item you might have. If you can reduce your expenses in each area by 1% it can quickly add up to your goal of 10% . Finally, aim to review your sales and expenses monthly. This helps in identifying any cost blowouts or sales downturns that may be happening and allows you to react quickly enough to avoid any issues. . I hope these budget tips help you with your business to save more over the next 12 months. . However, if youre looking for more and really want to set a stable budget, Im running a financial training seminar for small business owners on February 28th, 2020. .

Just because we need to pay taxes as business owners, doesnt mean we cant take the right steps to minimise them.... . So where should you start? Learn what deductions you can claim as a business owner, and based on your business structure. . Well be going through some of these deductions next Friday, at Business Hacks in 2020 Seminar.

11.01.2022 "The Top 5 Reasons That Business Owners Wont Retire with Enough Money" . Every week I meet small business owners who would like to retire in the next 12 - 18 months only to realise they dont have enough money in their superannuation or savings. . Why does this happen? Typically its because, either:... They dont know how to minimise their taxes or which ones to pay. They havent set a clear budget to track their expenses. They dont understand how to use their superannuation to save for their retirement and help save tax. They arent clear about their retirement goals or have a plan. They think they can sell their business and that the business is their superannuation Or, if they can sell their business, they think it is worth more than what a buyer will pay. . Please, dont fall into this trap as a small business owner. . The best advice I can give you is to start now and invest in your financial future and security. . If youd like to learn what easy changes you can make today to set you up for a brighter future and retirement, Ive got you covered. .
