well i i guess it's kind of that time of the year where we maybe look backwards to move forward so i thought we might have a bit of a chat about you know what the new financial year is going to look like, but probably more importantly, look back a little bit and try and make this year a little bit easier, hopefully.
Better, easier, simpler, richer, whatever your adjective is that you would like it to be.
Sometimes that, I guess, is driven by change of government policy around tax and maybe some business advantages are thrown that way.
So I guess it's a combination of your own desires, but then also the environment around you.
I guess, you know, somewhat we need to, well, in this conversation, think about the things that we can control.
So we can't always control governments, we can't always control policy change, but we can certainly change some of the things that perhaps in March, April, May, June felt really hard for us this year and sort of take note of what those things were and maybe look for a solution.
Maybe, you know, start writing down some of the things that weren't working and take those to your accountant or to your bookkeeper and say, you know, this really wasn't working for me or this felt really hard.
I'm reading a book at the moment which is all about this type of thing.
There's a lot of messaging in it about gung-ho, caution to the wind, all that sort of stuff.
Bold, daring, is that an element of what you're suggesting or should there also be a bit of a more conservative foot on the brake a little?
Yeah, I think that's definitely something that each individual person and business owner needs to sort of think about.
Unfortunately, my Instagram feed, for instance, is full of businesses either taking breaks or closing down or pivoting from bricks and mortar to online because they just need to make a change because things aren't working like they used to be working.
But none of those decisions are easy decisions, right? You've sort of got to you know, go through the motion to get to that decision.
