Posted in business skills, community, treasurer on 24/07/2009 | Leave a Comment »
When was the last time you sat back and had a look at the processes in your business or community organisation and evaluated if efficiencies could be gained? Just recently, I’ve completed an Admin Systems assignment as part of my Diploma in Business. One of the reasons I’m studying this course is to provide the discipline [...]
Risky business

Risk management. How much attention do you give it? I remember after the Canberra Bushfires, there wasn’t one home that I visited shortly after that where the insurance policy wasn’t out on the table.

Have been flat out for 4 months to meet our self imposed deadline of getting the new version of our software to the treasurers starting the new year. As a result, have dropped off the radar in terms of networking online and offline. Life will settle into more of a routine now so have started [...]

It is a great reminder that we can sometimes give up on a project too early when if we’d stuck it out, the breakthrough was just ahead. This can be the case in a community organisation or in [...]

Last week I mentioned my formula for an accountability meeting. A mentor (or perhaps even a coach) is also very helpful for growing your business. Fortunately, I recently met up with a local business person whom I’ve known for a while and held in high regard. She has agreed to be my mentor on a [...]
