Standardising to make yourself above-average
There's always a lot to do when you run your own business so why would you bother setting up a formal manual for the procedures you use for your business?

When Things Go Wrong

I’ve had one of those weeks from hell! Everything I tried to do turned into a problem.  I wanted to do the first quarterly bank reconciliation in the new accounting program and I could not balance the figures.  I had to ring the accountant and ask for help.  With time ticking on me doing a tax lodgement it was very...

Welcome Everybody

Sunday, 16 May 2021

Welcome everybody.  I’m very excited to be back blogging after a considerable break away.  There’s been many changes since I was last writing in this way and there’s been some seismic events going on.  My health has been very patchy but I finally feel that it is stabilising and I continue to find ways to deal with the challenges.  The global pandemic...
