Get Financially Fit in 2020 with Advivo
Happy New Year!
The holiday period is often a time of reflection and for making New Year’s resolutions for the year to come. Have you made any resolutions?
I categorise my resolutions under three broad headings being personal, professional and educational, and try to ensure I have at least one resolution under each category. My professional goals are related to what I want to achieve within the business. Once these are set, I identify the various actions necessary and work with my business partners to hold me accountable to actually getting them done.
Admittedly, I don’t always manage to get them all ticked off, as the top priority ones get the focus, but this simple process gives me the best chance of actually achieving my New Year’s resolutions. As business advisors to you, our clients, we are committed to working with you to achieve your 2020 goals and providing some great tools to help you do this.
This newsletter shares tips on some of the challenges businesses face after returning from a holiday closure, such as ‘cash flow and debtor management’. We also talk about how to get focused back on to business growth, with some more details on our business strategy and planning tools.
We have two events coming up soon. In our first event for the year we’ll be sharing some of our key business strategy planning and implementation tools which will help ensure your business can achieve its goals for 2020. We’ll also be hosting an exclusive/invitation only Boardroom Luncheon for our SMSF clients.
We hope you enjoy the read and we’re looking forward to helping you achieve your goals in 2020!
If there is anything you would like us to prepare an article on, please send an email to info@advivo.com.au.
