We’ve reached the end of March, which means that we’ve reached the end of the first quarter of 2019 (or the end of the 3rd quarter for the Australian Financial Year depending on which one you are counting) Time flies when you are having fun… right?

Things always seem to have a way of ending up more complicated than you intended them to be… well, I know that’s often the way at my house. I don’t set out for it to be that way. I love simple! But as time goes by, layers get added, things come up, and everything ends
I love hearing about people who are keeping it real. The ones who are juggling this crazy thing called life, and a family, all while growing their business, their way. Because the truth is, it’s not all rainbows and unicorns all of the time. But it is worth it in the end. In the #RealLifeBiz

Good habits enrich your day and make life easier.Bad habits (although maybe “bad” is too strong a word here) can keep you stuck and hold you back. The thing is, like it or not, you have hundreds
I struggled to set a financial target for this year. Last year was my smallest year since being full time self employed 5 years ago. I took 18 weeks maternity leave, and took most of the year very slowly. In October 2018, I ran my finances and realised just how quiet my year had been.
