END OF FINANCIAL YEAR IS LOOMING
The 31st March is the end of the financial year for a very large number of our clients. This means getting all that end of year stuff together that we are going to ask for. So why not start now so it's not such a big task at the end of March?

This year we will offer the end of year checklists both electronically via the secure area on our website and also hard copies if requested.

We'll keep you up-dated over the next month.

6 BUSINESS TIPS
BE THE LEADER IN YOUR MARKET
These six tips will help you master your market — no matter the size of your business.
1. Get Educated. Whether you enroll in a course on your topic area or work in the market, the key is to continuously deepen your knowledge and experience in your chosen field.
2. Home In On Your Strengths. People who operate in their signature strengths(their most significant character traits) are happier and more engaged in life and at work than others.
3. Spend Time With Books. If you can find the time to read at least one book a month in your topic area, you will have more information than the vast majority of people in your chosen field.
4. Get Your Name Out There. Start penning articles for trade magazines and professional associations - writing makes you sharper in your niche because you have to think about it differently.
5. Be A Trend Leader. When you’re on top of the latest trends in your industry, form opinions, then, start a blog. Be brave, share your views and don’t worry about everyone agreeing with you.
6. Be Heard. Give speeches, but be warned you have to know your topic inside and out, if you’re going to open yourself up to a live crowd.

INCREASE BUSINESS 

VALUE TIP
HOW TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS MORE VALUABLE - ONE
Bond your customers and clients to the company – not to you. Customers want consistent, reliable delivery of products and services. This can only happen when you have in place near perfect systems and procedures dependent on well trained and skilled staff working as a team – not as one-off individuals.
 
HOW TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS MORE VALUABLE - TWO
Your business is more valuable to a purchaser if it is scalable (it has the ability to grow) and has sustainability (the ability to survive disasters).
If your business has both these attributes, then you can demand a higher price and get it. (Thank you Jack Carson)

ACC TIP 
CHECK FOR OVER-CHARGING
ALWAYS check your ACC bills. You can be overcharged because:

· ACC is classifying your type of work wrongly.

· Your earned income, in total, takes you over the upper limit and ACC has not recognised this. This error is quite common. One way it happens is when a person is drawing PAYE wages and getting a non PAYE salary from their company.

· ACC has been supplied with, or picked up, the wrong income figure.

A COUPLE OF JOKES
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Do not argue with an idiot.  He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

COAST TO COAST

Congratulations to our clients who undertook this now iconic event. After 29 years, it is almost part of the Christchurch and Canterbury DNA. The event itself is demanding but it is the hundreds of hours of training that all entrants must devote to getting into physical and mental shape that really separates the athletes from the rest.

The E3 clients were:
Glen Hedges from East Coast Fixers. Glen was 12th out of 199 total finishers in the Two Day Individual event. 
David Owen from Peebles Owen. David was 19th out of 46 veteran finishers.Stewart Carruthers of TBA Communications. Stewart was 6th out of 17 finishers in the veteran teams. And lastly Steve Gurney (I think he's done it before)unfortunately was excluded from the official results. Because of a great publicity stunt in teaming with Robin Outguns (who once was an athlete, then deteriorated but blossomed again to cross the finish line) Steve sacrificed himself for the good of the event.

Congratulations again to our four dedicated C2C clients. And if you are an E3 client, and I missed seeing you at the event, please let me know. I will publish your name in the next newsletter.
