A wonderful night spent at Caroline Thai., with the BNI Better Together Group

BNI Better Together hosted an unforgettable night during this month's social event at Caroline Thai, where members and guests came together for an evening of camaraderie and networking. The event fostered a vibrant atmosphere of connection and collaboration. We all indulged in a spread of authentic Thai dishes while engaging in lively conversations, exchanging business insights, and forging valuable relationships. The evening buzzed with energy as professionals from diverse industries shared their expertise whilst embodying the spirit of unity and mutual support that defines BNI Better Together.

We were also fortunate enough to celebrate the birthday of our esteemed member and dedicated Buyer's Agent, Mario Conte, adding an extra layer of joy and camaraderie to the evening's festivities. As Mario's milestone was toasted amidst the warm glow of friendship and goodwill, the occasion served as a reminder of the tight-knit community that BNI Better Together cultivates. Mario's contributions to the group, characterised by his unwavering professionalism, integrity, and commitment to excellence, were duly recognised and celebrated by fellow members, highlighting the mutual respect and admiration shared within the BNI family.

As the night unfolded, the bonds strengthened, with members seizing the opportunity to deepen their connections. Amidst laughter and shared stories, attendees discovered common ground, identified synergies, and laid the foundation for future partnerships.

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is a legal requirement for Sole Traders, sure.

And, while it’s true that getting one doesn’t shield you personally from any liability you may face as a business…

It does provide some clarity between your personal and work life.

Finally, if you do decide later on to incorporate as a Proprietary Limited (Pty Ltd) company later on, it will be a smoother transition.

Either way, use the excuse of an ABN to keep clear and distinct records of your personal and business finances.

It’s an opportunity to start growing NOW.

Thinking of a game-changer for your business? 🚀

A bookkeeper might just be the secret sauce you need!

After hiring a Class Accounts bookkeeper, Paivi tripled her turnover.
