Creating a fun work environment is key to a positive and productive atmosphere.

When we engage in enjoyable activities and share lighthearted moments with colleagues, we strengthen relationships, boost morale, and reduce stress. A relaxed and fun atmosphere fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration, making it easier for everyone to come up with new ideas. Plus, when we enjoy our work, job satisfaction goes up, which leads to higher employee retention and lower turnover.

Companies that prioritise a fun culture often see improved performance and increased motivation. Ultimately, having fun at work leads to a happier, healthier, and more successful workplace for everyone.

"An Empty Lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly." - Unknown 🌟

Taking time for self-care isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. When we prioritise our well-being, we ensure that we can shine our brightest and bring our best selves to everything we do. ✨🧘‍♀️💆‍♂

What are you doing this weekend to carve out some time for self-care?

Share your secrets below! Maintaining balance is crucial for our well-being and productivity.

It may be 2 years old.... but this Thursday Thought is still just as relevant today......

🌟 Achieving Work-Life Balance 🌟

Finding the right work-life balance is key to your well-being and productivity. Here are some tips to help you achieve it:

1. Set Boundaries: Clearly define your work and personal time. Avoid work emails or calls during off-hours and keep work discussions out of family time.
2. Prioritise Tasks: Make a daily list of work and personal tasks, and prioritise them by importance and deadlines. This helps you manage your time effectively.
3. Schedule Downtime: Plan regular breaks, holidays, and hobbies to recharge. Leisure activities help you relax and maintain balance.
4. Learn to Delegate: Don’t take on too much at work or home. Delegate tasks to reduce stress and free up time for important things.
5. Stay Organised: Use calendars, to-do lists, and reminders to keep track of tasks and appointments. Staying organised reduces stress.
6. Focus on Self-Care: Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Exercise, eat well, get enough sleep, and practice stress-reduction techniques.
7. Establish a Routine: Create a daily schedule that includes both work and personal activities. A consistent routine helps manage time effectively.
8. Learn to Say No: Know your limits and don’t be afraid to decline additional responsibilities or social engagements that conflict with your balance goals.
9. Seek Support: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues for help. Sharing your concerns and seeking advice can provide valuable insights.

Remember, achieving work-life balance is an ongoing process. Regularly reassess and adjust as needed to stay balanced and happy! 🌈✨

The most successful business that I know do this one, very small thing every end of financial year.

When I say success, I am just talking about financial success or business growth. Reflection can, of course, mean different things for different businesses, depending on what stage of the journey they’re in.

So, some things for you to think about as June 30th comes closer: How are your relationships with your team?
How are your relationships with your clients?
What’s your business operations looking like?
How are your finances?

These are important questions to consider, even if they’re a bit stressful to think about.

As EOFY nears, everyone starts looking at their systems and books. It can be a confusing time for some, wondering how much GST is owed, tax, super etc!

A top tip of mine: Make life easier with your own bookkeeper!

Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

📊 Accurately track your business progress year after year.
🧾 Stay up-to-date and never miss a bill payment.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Balance work and personal life—spend more time with family, not balancing books.
🔍 Gain a fresh perspective on your business.
💸 Ensure constant cash flow.

Invest in a bookkeeper and watch your business thrive!

Re-energise today and move forward feeling confident in your business goals.

Seriously, build your audience before you build your course. I have people coming to me saying they need to sell their course, which they've spent hours and hours building, and it opens next month. But their audience reach is tiny. .. and we struggle with strategy, because they'll need to invest much more $$$ in advertising and socials are a long game.

It is far better that you're working on consistently building your brand and gaining audience.
THEN learn what your audience actually want.
THEN build your offer.

📊 Are you really in tune with your business's vital signs? From understanding your cash flow to dissecting profit and loss, is your financial structure the best one for your business? It's time to take the plunge even though you may find it confronting or even confusing.

Top tips for the best bookkeeping for your business:

Keep your personal and business accounts separate.
I see it all the time and this always causes confusion and issues when it comes to tax time and if you ever look to grow or scale your business.

Cloudbased software and automation:
If you have the budget, make your life easier by using cloudbased software and automating your accounts! This includes automated invoicing, follow ups and help with reconciliation and expense tracking! No more spreadsheets!

Budget for Tax & Super Payments:
Have this calculated into every payment, you then know where you stand throughout the financial year and are ready to go for when the time comes. Nothing worse then a tax bill and ofcourse super contributions are important! Dont skip them just because it seems too hard.

Know the basics:
Make sure you are across the accounting and tax rules for your industry or business structure. This can save you from unnecessary shocks or penalties.

If you need help understanding any of the above, feel free to ask!

🔄 Transforming Challenges into Opportunities 📘✨

They say what doesn't challenge you won't change you. Its important to take a challenging piece of criticism and turn it into a valuable lesson. Its exciting to see the growth that comes from this. By adopting a learner’s approach, I realised every piece of feedback holds a seed of improvement.

Have you turned critical feedback into a stepping stone for personal development? Share your experiences in the comments!

In a world that often echoes with criticism, remember to listen to the voice that matters most – yours.

Confidence isn't about having the loudest voice; it’s about having a voice that speaks your truth. Reflect on your accomplishments and how far you've come.

Your small business isn't just a venture, it’s a testament to your resilience and dedication. Stand tall against adversity and keep pushing forward! 💪💥

I have been preparing for Harmony Day celebrations with my little artists this week, and it gave me time for reflection about how I manage it running my own business. Society, itself, is a huge melting pot of colour, flavour and diversity. Our businesses, themselves, can be microcosms of this, with all our various internal and external stakeholders. Harmony Day enables us to actively celebrate this diversity, aiming to foster inclusiveness, respect and the idea that people of all different cultures can make valuable contributions to society.. and, of course, our businesses. 😁

Just a slight revamp to my logo and time to relaunch! I thought it was a good opportunity to reintroduce myself to my new followers!

Hello I'm Julie,

As a business owner myself and with 20+ year of experience working closely with a variety of small businesses, I get that running a business is time consuming and there's rarely an opportunity to critically assess your business performance.

It's hard to find time to work on your business – but that time can be what your business needs to go from just surviving to thriving.

I am an accomplished, experienced and dedicated business specialist who loves little more than a deep dive into a business’ data to get clear on the story those numbers tell. In fact, I’ve built my career- and my business- around driving change through understanding numbers.

I have a background in mainly service-based careers: law enforcement, administration & customer service roles and teaching. I have a Degree in Education, Cert IV in Bookkeeping and a Postgraduate Certificate in Accounting. I've worked across Australia and in North America, but Melbourne is home.

I simply love working with people with small businesses. I believe their drive, their commitment to their customers or clients should be reflected in their results. If a business is causing undue stress, or isn’t as sustainably lucrative as it should be, then let’s work out a way to turn things around.
