There has never been a more important time to ensure your internal communications are as good as they could be. During a crisis, attention is often focussed on ensuring our communications with our clients are regular, on brand and consistent. This has been especially important for organisations who have had major changes like switching from in-house dining to take-away. I'm sure you are all over this. But are your internal communications as focussed and professional?
My clothes dryer broke. It died a long, loud screaming death that resembled a vampire movie. It's had a long life. I can't complain. It's survived a couple of house moves, it's been a good member of the Grey family for many years. But it had one last purpose on this earth, before it moves onto dryer heaven, (or where-ever dead dryers go), it wanted to teach me a lesson about business.

Together, there are 426,000 of us small businesses.
There have been massive changes to the Back to Work program which includes the $20K Youth Boost I have promoted loudly and widely. Form 1st July 2018, the program will change significantly. If you are using this program, or considering using it, it pays to read the fine print and check out the changes.
Here are some handy dates to mark in your diary.
January 2018 22 January - December monthly Business Activity Statement (BAS) due. 29 January - December quarter superannuation guarantee contributions due. I have just finished some marketing implementation plans for a few different clients and discovered some serious collaboration between the Queensland and Australian governments. It could mean $24K in your pocket - but it won't be around for long.
I was thrilled to be part of The Business Over Breakfast Show with Andrew Griffiths and Bree James. The podcast is a great source of advice, guidance, tips and insights for small business owners.
