No matter whether the business today is a corner shop or a large corporation, they all have their beginnings from a small group of people or an individual who decided that they could do something or provide something better.

It is critical in the early stages to have things setup right so that you can not only manage and run your business, but you can also flex and adapt as the landscape changes. You don’t want to be a business administrator, you want to be a business owner. Not only is your time important, it is limited. Whether you’re an experienced business billionaire or just starting out in this world, you have 24 hours in a day, no more, no less.

The focus needs to be on your business to ensure success. To enable this to happen it is critical to leave certain tasks to people with specialist knowledge, and who can complete the work more efficiently than you. (and anyway it’s not something you really want to do when you run your business). It’s not about losing control, it’s all about focusing on your talents - isn’t that why you started the business in the first place?

I help business owners to start, manage and run their businesses. If you’re already running your business, I can assist with a review of your position and provide considerations for creating better performance and/or results.

When the time is right, I also look at how you can step away from your business so that you can enjoy the results. It’s not just running a business or being an entrepreneur, it’s also about ensuring that you receive a return from the business that rewards you for all the risk and effort you made.

The Australian investment market consists of property, listed shares and many other types of investments. The laws and taxes surrounding investments can be complex, making it difficult to understand.

Owning these investments also requires you to ensure that you have the right structure to manage the flow of income and assets, and ultimately the taxes that you pay. Again, setting things up correctly from the start is important. This ensures that not only can you benefit during the time you invest, but also when the time comes to step away and enjoy the results you can be assured that you can continue to enjoy the lifestyle you lead when working and investing. Generational investment is now something that is of interest to many families. This is ensuring that any investments made can remain within the family lines and is not diluted by family break ups and disagreements. I help to look at strategies to protect the assets you’ve worked hard for and keep them within the family.

The online world has become one of disruption to the status quo of retail. Driven by changes in the environment, a lack of time, and increased dependence on the internet, a unique opportunity has arisen for those willing to embrace change. Retail was once the domain of large corporations who used traditional bricks and mortar to operate their business. With the internet, every person who sells on a site, whether it be something simple like craigslist, gumtree or similar, to larger sites such as eBay, Amazon, TaoBao or Alibaba; they have joined the retail sphere and create fragmentation of the retail industry. For those wishing to actively participate in this market and take advantage of the opportunities, I work with you and other consultants who are experts in the field to create a solution that builds a platform enabling a business to takes advantage of the opportunities that come from online retail.
