Thanks Suze,

Unfortunately the news is not good. $200 per round trip has been slated as being over the top for the service I provide.

I left the door open of they require my services in the future, thanking them for their business and their friendship.

Who knows? The unreliable/inconsistent Uber experience may be too much for them to bear over…[Read more]

Great words, Paul, thank you, I will definitely keep those at the ready.

It will be interesting to see what happens this week when (if) I am asked to take them out again.

After further information has come to light, I understand this gentleman has a habit of texting and emailing folk after a few too many ales each evening and getting himself…[Read more]

Thanks Paul,

I guess the most desirable outcome would be that our agreement would continue without the costs of my services being questioned.

In some ways I do blame myself because it was never made clear what his deposit would be broken into, but I have to ask myself “why now?”.

Without going into detail, this man is wildly wealthy. I highly…[Read more]

I should add to my post that I am not OBLIGED to carry these folk each week. There is no binding agreement as such. Each week the wife always asks me if I am able to take them out. If I am busy doing other work or have family commitments, I don’t have to do it, but I have made it a point to be available for them and I believe they appreciated…[Read more]

Thanks so much, Suze.

Yes, a very stressful time, indeed.

We have managed to refinance the house which has taken some pressure off and we struck a deal with the ATO until we can see our way clear of paying the tax bill in larger chunks.

At the moment we have a little relief, but I remain mindful that is only a bandaid fix.

Many thanks for your reply.

Thank you Justin. I haven’t heard of that but I will look into it.

I am not affiliated in any way, but I do know they come up with some amazing software tools and courses as well, with “Lifetime” deals much cheaper than regular prices. I believe they may have quizz software on there at the moment. Quizzes4Leads comes to mind for US$49.

Let us know how you go.

One thing we have never been able to master is creating and building a buffer to pay our GST and Tax obligations.

I guess the simple answer is that we live beyond our means to a degree (and we don’t live lavishly, let me tell you!) which means we don’t ever seem to have a “bank” for tax debts or nasty little surprises.

COVID didn’t help with…[Read more]

Hi again everyone,

Further to my first question, I have an addition:

I have a dilemma, but it’s a little complex to describe, so please bear with me.

Apologies up front for the length of the post.

PART 1:

Currently, due to industry changes (my main source of video production income was television work) and of course the lockdown, I am not…[Read more]

Hi Monica,

Thank you so much for your reply. I am indeed in NSW so I will check that program out.

Thanks Paul,

The Mentor is of reputable character and he some terrific case studies.

My issue is the cost when things are already very tight especially with COVID affecting what was already a pressured income stream. I believe it will work, but it may take three or more monthly payments of $1500 before we start to see results. That scares the…[Read more]
