2013 Apr | Volume 8, Issue 3: Falling In Love With Your Business Again | | |
Often we get to a point, especially in challenging times, when we “fall out of love” with our business. Even without challenges, we can get to a point where we’ve forgotten why we went into business in the first place. Not only that, but the constant day to day drudgery which seems never ending, can cloud your vision of all the great things your business can do! For your family, the community, staff, suppliers and business partners. Category : Learning Library - 60 Seconds with Achievers Group - Yale Morgan | |||

2013 Mar | Volume 8, Issue 2: Don’t Abdicate Your Financial Responsibility | | |
Say you’d handed your bank account details to a chronic gambler. How well would you sleep at night? How long before you had no money left?

2013 Mar | Volume 8, Issue 2: What’s The Vision For Your Business? | | |
In business we start out with a vision, a vision of what the business will look like, what it will do, how it will help the customers, staff, business partners (suppliers) and of course, how much money youll make. All of this leads to a personal vision of what your future lifestyle looks like. Often in times of adversity, such as the devastating floods here in Bundaberg, we are forced to re-think or re-focus on our vision. Quite frankly, businesses in Bundaberg and a good chunk of the Wide Bay will be affected by the recent events, both positively and negatively.
