Cheers Burgo.
These must be trying times.
I am glad you are able to return to activities you find stimulating and I am glad to hear that you have some assistance where you need it.

Hi Burgo,
It seems so simple doesn’t it?
As you know, I work in cleaning and I have always said that it is an easy business to get right. And an easy business to get wrong.
Peter Drucker remains relevant today as management, is at it’s core, about human behaviour. And quite often, I found even more precisely, getting people to do what they…[Read more]

It’s a difficult one because the NAB is probably representative of the other banks (but not necessarily).
It sounds like he has done fantastically well for himself but banks have their own criteria around what is and what is not credit…[Read more]

Paul – FS Concierge replied to the topic What are your business goals for 2023? in the forum Other discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
My business has had significant price inflation around contractors.
I have worked hard to claw some of those rises back but have not been able to come close to par versus where I was a year ago.
To bookend the problem, finding labour is very difficult so a growth strategy is not really an option.
So in the end, my overall strategy is to tread…[Read more]

Lot’s of soloers don’t want to be beholden to you so having a CMS that can survive you is important.
You need to show how having a website made by you is going to make them more money or save them money compared to if they have it made by somebody else or do it themselves.
The bottom line is how does your work help them to create a better,…[Read more]

Hi @baussie
Sometimes you have to make the hard decisions.
Your Accountant should be able to advise you or get in touch with ASIC themselves if the fee you are referring to relates to them.
Best of luck.

Hi Eric,
No, I don’t so I can’t help.
I was thinking parts suppliers and manufacturers but that is just a guess.

Compile a list of probable verticals and then work out where they hang out and market research there – but unless you are bringing something unique to the party, you will be directly competing with global behemoths such as Vistaprint.

It is obviously important to get this part right – that is why you are here right?
But I can’t go past recommending you seek proper advise from an Accountant.

I’m sorry to hear you lost your gig, especially at this time of year when we all need money.
In my experience, 10-15% of former users come back and use my service again so it is not a high number.
As a glass half full person, I typically think in terms of, “It was good while it lasted” and, “Losing good customers is part of doing…[Read more]

Is there anything in the economy that may cause him to think on how he spends his money and how much to spend?
It is a natural reaction to reign in spending when things turn South and that is maybe what is happening here?
That’s just a guess that could be wrong but it goes to his motivation for asking what he is asking.

Hi Suze,
In my industry, the price spread is so wide that it is next to useless.
The spread is $433-$1033 monthly so the difference between high and low is close to 60%.
Anybody want to buy my car? I’m selling it for between $20,000 and $50,000 🙂
