Working from home has an allure that can be deceiving. You don’t have to drive to work, you can take a lunch break whenever you want, and you don’t even need to wear pants! But with all these positives working from home can become very unproductive very quickly.  

When you are at home it is very easy to get distracted, you can see that the washing hasn’t been done, the television is right there, it is so easy to not do any work. Overcoming these distractions is the best way to stay productive while at home. But, is it possible? It is not a case of mind over matter. I have created some simple tips and tricks that I would like to share with you to increase productivity when working from home.   

Create a workplace  

Create an area in your house which will function as your office. Make sure that everyone in the house knows and respects this. When you are in your office people should know not to distract you. If you are not fortunate enough to create an entire room in your house...

I thought it would be a good idea to share this. I want it to bring hope to everyone that has dreamed about opening a new business but are worried about these times ahead. We had an interview with one of our client, Jason Stamp from Reynolds Equipment, who has done just that. 

This past year has definitely been a rollercoaster for small businesses. From the bush fire crisis in summer to entering a global pandemic, and it is still only April! It would be so easy to get caught up in the fear and feel like the world is going to end. Even though things may be changing and your business will likely need to learn how to adapt to uncertainty, the world will not end. We will get through this. I have been able to see the resilience of communities in the country who experience uncertainty every year. When water is scarce, they band together to support each other. When tourists are low, they find new innovative ways to sell goods with the internet. When life is difficult they support each other. They are proof that we can be resilient.  

With these three tips, you will be able to learn how to adapt to uncertainty, not only will you get through this pandemic, but you will also be ready for anything in the future.   

Stay positive  

Keeping a positive mindse...

Lynne has spent most of her working life around small business. With 20 years’ experience in a chartered accounting firm, she realised her real passion was not just about the numbers but really making a difference to the lives of small business owners. In 2002 she followed her dream to provide services to the smaller Mum and Dad style businesses, the ones struggling to understand what their numbers really mean but feel silly contacting their accountant for the day to day problems. 

To provide a more structured approach to guide small business owners she developed the five pillar system. This system helps them grow a manageable and sustainable business so when it is time to retire or sell, they have an asset that can be on-sold. 

On her own journey after breast cancer, she discovered how yoga and meditation not only stills the mind and builds resilience, but they actually helped her find clarity around her vision and purpose and this has had a significant positive impact on her busine...

So, you have decided to step out of the daily grind. You have leapt a safe job that just serves to bring you money and created one that speaks to your soul. At first, it is exciting, you meet new people with the same interests as you and realize that your business venture may be more valuable than you have ever expected. However, slowly the life of a business owner begins to present stresses. It is not uncommon for new small business owners to become overwhelmed. Thoughts of not being good enough, or not knowing enough about finances and businesses management can keep you up at night. If you want to feel accomplished in business, then these five pillars can give you the framework to free yourself from the overwhelm.  

Your business is like the roof of a building. Without proper support, it will simply collapse. However, if you have a clear vision and purpose, sturdy management and leadership, fantastic finance, defined marketing and branding and a sales and growth strategies your b...
