MYOB’s Julian Smith blogs about the importance of giving yourself a pat on the back this EOFY.
“For some of you self-recognition is rare, you’re so busy doing the day to day work that it’s easy to miss. I encourage you to recognise the hard work and determination that you have put in to your business, what you have achieved and the contribution you make to your local business community.”
Julian Smith blogs about the importance of looking beyond the end of the financial year.
“Yep, I know time is scarce – you’re already flat out trying to wrap up this financial year and time to plan ahead looks hard to find – but do try to set the time aside, as it will give you the opportunity to set your business up to start the new financial year on the right foot.”
While the end of the financial year can sometimes be a rushed haze of numbers, money, stock and papers, I think it’s important to take some time to reflect on the year that has just passed.
Happy June! The end of financial year ‘EOFY’ is almost upon us!
I know that, for some of you, today signals added stress and more pressure. But that doesn’t need to be the case.
There was a conversation on radio station Nova 100 (Melbourne) recently that discussed businesses that were struggling to get customers in the door. There was an example of a pizza restaurant that was experiencing slow business while a competitor down the road was going gangbusters.
Julian Smith of MYOB blogs about discovering your business personality. Take the test!
“Define your ‘business personality’ – it’ll help you identify what you care about the most and how to get the best support from others. SME research specialists from the Cameron Research Group have identified three main business personality types.”
Julian Smith of MYOB blogs about what the Federal budget means for SMEs.
“It’s disappointing and frustrating to see the Federal Government continuing to claim that lowering the company tax rate is a win for small business. We are simply just not buying that old chestnut.”
Julian Smith of MYOB blogs about Aussie SME businesses becoming the ‘forgotten’ majority.
“So for those in government, here is a little reminder on behalf of 96% of all businesses in Australia ― may we please have lower small business tax rate that is available to every businesses (not just the minority that have a company structure) and a simplified BAS system and increased access to business finance!”
Julian Smith blogs about the importance of taking a holiday.
“Welcome back from the Easter break! Not sure about you, but I took a short break and it gave me a little time for reflection (and perhaps overindulgence in chocolate!). It’s not until you’re on holiday or in the middle of taking a short break that you realise just how important it is to step out and switch off.”
Julian Smith blogs about what small business wants from the Federal Government, and how they’re not getting it.
“We don’t want the Government to lump businesses together as a single voting block. Businesses come in different shapes, sizes, demographics and financial positions and the Government cannot apply a ‘one size fits all’ approach.”
