…on my shoulders, makes me happy! (a la John Denver…and a sweet reminder of my dear Papa)

We haven’t had “Frivolous Friday” for a while so I thought I’d take some time out of what has been a very busy schedule…to reflect on something happy!

This past fortnight seems to have seen the weather turn for us Victorians (well, almost)!  The sunshine has been gorgeous and is so uplifting and refreshing…even if there is the odd bit of drizzly rain still about!

Is it just me, or is everyone a little brighter now that Winter is over?

It’s about this time of year when I look at my calendar and think “Oh my goodness…”, almost every week and weekend has some significant event booked in…lots of socialising and still lots of work to do – and before we know it, Christmas will be here (to date I have managed to ignore the many Facebook posts about “how many weeks until Christmas…”)!

This weekend sees me at the launch of the annual City of Warrnambool Art Show , a first birthday party for a special little girl, a hens day for a special big girl, a baptism and an overdue luncheon with a couple of girlfriends…I’m going to need a week to get over my weekend!

Does everyone else have a diary that looks like this?  I hope so, and I hope you all have as much fun as I plan on having…

PS don’t forget that daylight saving starts this Sunday – more daylight, more sunshine – yay!

Regards

I’m getting in a few days early so that everyone has time to prepare…this Saturday, 4th October, 2014 is “Support Small Business Day”!

An initiative of the Victorian Government, “Support Small Business Day” aims to celebrate the huge contributions that small businesses make to local communities.

This Saturday, everyone is encouraged to explore your local community and visit (and spend up!!) at local small businesses…

According to the “Support Small Business Day” website (which can be found here), there are over half a million small businesses in Victoria, with a combined contribution of approximately 30% of the output and sales of the state…add to that the fact that almost half of the private sector jobs in the state (some 1.2 million…) are provided by small business (either by way of self-employment or by employing others) – and it’s easy to see just how important small businesses are!

I love small business – I love seeing others follow their passion and their dreams and create a lifestyle that works for them…and I especially love being able to help these businesses and their owners to take control of their financials and bookkeeping to make the most of their efforts!

If you are a small business owner and you’d like some personalised one-on-one help with anything to do with the financial aspects of your business – drop us a line via the Contact page.
