In this video, I’m sharing something a bit different – why taking holidays has become one of the best things I do for my business. Every time I take a proper break like last week’s trip to Mt Hotham with my five boys, I come back clearer, sharper, and more energised than ever. But more than that, I always seem to learn, realise big ideas, attract unexpected leads, and return refreshed and ready to make big changes. Here’s what I’ve noticed after years of doing this: LEARN: I set myself up to learn while I’m away (yes, even if my kids have to listen to Jim Rohn in the car!) REALISE: I have those lightbulb moments when I finally slow down – whether I’m on a chairlift or holding a fishing rod LEADS: I get surprising leads out of nowhere (I don’t know why, but it always happens) REFRESHED: I … Read more

If you’re a tradie or business owner and work’s been drying up lately, you’re not alone – but you can do something about it. In this video, I share 4 key strategies I use with my coaching clients when things slow down: Own it: It starts with taking responsibility. No blame, no excuses – just action. Pivot: Almost every successful business I work with has pivoted into a higher-value niche or a smarter offering. Market: It’s not enough to wait for the phone to ring anymore. I talk through practical marketing that works, and offer a free marketing review if you’re stuck. Cut costs: No one loves this step, but done right, it can give you breathing room without doing damage.

In this video, business coach Hugh Bowman from ActionCOACH Geelong explains the key components of a Business Activity Statement (BAS) and why understanding it is essential for business owners. A BAS is a report that businesses submit to the government to account for three main tax components: 1. Goods and Services Tax (GST) GST is the tax collected on sales (typically 10%) minus the GST paid on purchases. The final amount payable depends on the difference between collected and paid GST. Businesses often see higher GST obligations in the final quarter of the year when work volume increases before Christmas. 2. Withholding Tax This is the tax deducted from employees’ wages before they are paid. If a business increases staffing or incurs high overtime costs, withholding tax will also rise accordingly. 3. Company Instalment Tax This is a forecasted tax amount based on the business’s previous taxable profit. The government … Read more
