Easter 2021 has been crunch time for many SMEs as Job Keeper stops and the banks are looking to start repayment on any deferred loans,
The COVID lock downs have been a disaster for so many families in business. It's a real challenge and a cause of anxiety for many in business. If you need to talk to someone to let off some steam contact me.

It's like walking on a tight rope? You might fall off or you might make it the other side and through 2021. It's a delicate balance. The small to medium businesses of Australia will suffer more than any other segment.


It's time to action a plan the future of your family business and assess if you can keep your original dream alive. You will probably have invested years of blood sweat and tears and money into your business. Don't try to solve it on your own, seek help from an experienced and proven advisor who has walked in the shoes of those who have been though tough times before.

Beware the online spruikers who offer a quick fix by signing up to their programs.


When you focus on possible new opportunities and a shared purpose you will be able to navigate past the current crisis and come out of it stronger. Every privately owned business must have a great internal culture, systems and processes to ensure they are sustainable for the long term. In fact, this is not negotiable. 

Many business owners now face a changed business environment and don't know who to turn to for advice. It can be refreshing to be able to get things off your chest and know that someone will listen and give you honest feedback. Why do most successful people use mentors? Because it works.  

​Experience shows the most effective benefit and value an experienced advisor can bring to families in business is to facilitate conversations within the family group where there are two or more generations and/or in laws working in the business. I can guarantee that working through the issues with individuals and then meeting as a family group brings success. It can be tough, scary and challenging. Many I have worked with will tell you it makes a significant and positive difference.


Many families in business are emerging from a state of uncertainty. That is causing emotional conflict and anxiety in a family businesses. Each family member will have an opinion on what is the best strategy to survive. Setting up an advisory board takes the isolation out of running a business and leads to better decision making.
