I’m writing this on 1 July, it’s the very first day of the new financial year yet I feel like I have been living in it for at least six months. Because budgets and plans for 2010 were formulated long ago, sales pipelines stretch to the middle of the financial year, and because last week a client was even talking about his Christmas party, FY10 feels like an old friend not a new acquaintance.

Are traditional Australian characteristics a thing of the past, do they really exist or is it all talk?
This is what the latest RedBalloon Pleasure Survey aimed to find out, and we went one step further applying this to the workplace. I wasn’t that surprised by the results. The survey was conducted in April 2009. Even now I am reading and seeing more signs of positivity. We’re an optimistic bun

This all depends on how you feel about promoting yourself in relation to your business. I am personally a big advocate of it, ever since day one I have always promoted myself in relation to Mocks, so that I am now known to be the “Mocks lady”. This has helped my business in that people know exactly who to come to when they need Mocks, often my reputation precedes me when I meet new peo

We’ve just been playing in the US market and having a ball. I’ve just come back from five weeks in the States with a solid stint in NYC attending Book Expo America where I had a taste of what's needed to survive in today’s changing industry and challenging economy. Attended by all the greats in publishing, the Fair was buzzing with special events, international rights deals and 1500 ex

We have just returned from a wonderful two week break in France and Spain. And while Paris is always a fabulous place to visit, Spain was really fascinating. On our first night in Spain we watched the news and saw that the USA was increasing its greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired powerstations by more than 3% this year. China had increased its greenhouse emissions due to coal fired powerstat

June 30 is just about here, can you believe it! ??
A time of the year where we look at our profit & loss statements, assets and liabilities and assess our income and expenses. ??
It has been a tough year with the global EFC for a lot of us and maybe our profit may not be as high as other years. Whether or not you have grown as a business in terms of money, it is just as important to assess w

A great deal has been made in the press recently about paying an appearance fee for Tiger Woods to appear in Melbourne at a golfing event. I don't do golf. It's not a sport that has ever grabbed my interest. However, I do think that 'celebrity' involvement in an event generates media interest which in turn generates publicity for you.
To ignore the pulling power of a famous person in this day

I have just returned from a great trip to USA, London, Paris and Hong Kong. When people say did you have a good holiday – I wonder why I can’t just say “Yes, it was great!” instead of “It was work!”. It was great and the reality is that if you love your work – you can make a hectic trip feel like a holiday. And you can use a time of recession to take everyone by surprise when they least expe

When the millennium development goals (MDGs) were agreed in 2000, I was relieved to see that finally there was a focus on women, with two of the eight goals reflecting the needs and rights of women around the world. Yet, as reports on the progress on the MDGs continue to roll in, I’m saddened and frustrated that we are nowhere near on target to meet our pledge to reduce maternal mortality.
