Seven Signs It Might Be Time to Step Back and Look at Your Business Differently Running a business is one of the most rewarding things a person can do. It can also be one of the most demanding. Many business owners begin with a passion for their trade, product or profession. As the business grows, however, they often find themselves wearing every hat—making every decision, solving every problem and carrying the weight of the business on their shoulders. Longer hours become th

AI may help you find the Quick Wins you're not seeing. What if improving your business didn't have to start with working harder, hiring more people or finding more customers? Business owners are often so busy dealing with today's customers, staff, suppliers and problems that there is little time left to stand back and ask: Where are the opportunities already sitting inside my business? Sometimes the biggest opportunity isn't another major initiative. It is finding the Quick W

AI can save time. What will you do with it? Over the past week I have been talking about some of the practical ways AI can help businesses save time. Drafting routine communications. Documenting processes. Analysing information. Summarising meetings. Finding patterns in data. But there's a bigger question. If AI gave you five hours back every week, what would you actually do with those five hours? Would you simply fit more work into the week? Or would you use that time to mak

Spring is a natural time for renewal. Build a business that doesn't rely on you every day We clear out what we no longer need, tackle jobs we have been putting off and prepare for the warmer months ahead. It can also be the perfect time to do the same thing in your business. As we move towards summer and the end-of-year period, many Australian businesses will experience increased demand, staff leave, tighter deadlines, Christmas shutdowns and greater pressure on owners and ma

Artificial Intelligence seems to dominate almost every business conversation today. Depending on who you listen to, AI is either going to revolutionise business—or replace it altogether. I don't see it that way. Throughout my career I have watched businesses adopt many new technologies. We moved from paper-based accounting to enterprise resource planning systems. We embraced cloud computing, mobile technology and digital collaboration. Each innovation promised to transform th

A business plan shouldn't end up in a folder - It should change how your business operates It should change how your business operates. A strategy is only valuable when it changes what happens on Monday morning. Most business owners understand the importance of having a plan. They know where they would like the business to go. They may have growth targets, financial objectives, ideas for new markets, plans to improve profitability or ambitions to build a business that is less

Sometimes legislation doesn't create the problem - it simply exposes the systems that were already under pressure. ARE YOU BUILDING A BUSINESS THAT CAN ADAPT Payday Super may reveal more than a payroll issue. When new legislation is introduced, most businesses immediately ask: "What do we have to do?" That is the right question. But it may not be the most valuable one. Sometimes a legislative change does something unexpected. It exposes weaknesses that have quietly existed in

From 1 July 2026, the way Australian employers pay superannuation changed. But for many businesses, the real impact may go far beyond payroll. Payday Super has arrived. For Australian employers, superannuation guarantee contributions are now tied more closely to each payday rather than the previous quarterly payment cycle. On the surface, this may look like a payroll or compliance change. But for many small and medium-sized businesses, it raises a much bigger question: Is you

As we approach the end of 2025, I have been working closely with business owners and leaders who are preparing for an exceptional 2026. One thing is clear: the final weeks of the year provide a powerful opportunity to reset, refine, and realign.
