COV ER S TORY

Manny Conditsis, Conditsis Lawyers ESTABLISHED IN 1983 by Manny Conditsis as a one-man general practice in Gosford, Conditsis Lawyers is one of the Central Coast’s leading law firms, employing thirty staff, including twelve lawyers, across the full spectrum of legal practice areas. Just announced as a finalist in the criminal law category of the 2021 Lawyers Weekly Partner of the Year Awards, Manny has been recognised amongst the nation’s top performing partners, or partners equivalent, across individual practice areas within the Australian legal profession. He has a greater than 90% success rate in jury trials and, along with co-director, Michal Mantaj, is among only a handful of Solicitor Advocates who appear in murder and other serious criminal trials in the Supreme Court and in appeals in the Court of Criminal Appeal and the High Court.

Manny’s remarkable success rate stems from his ability to build a rapport with jurors and his exceptional cross-examination skills, the result of doing the work and leaving no stone unturned prior to setting foot in the courtroom. This work ethic, together with the practice’s core values of Passion, Logic and Ethics, have been instilled throughout the team, and the results speak for themselves.

Last month, Alexandra Bailey, who started at Conditsis Lawyers as a legal secretary just three years ago and was mentored by Manny and Michal while studying, was named Australia’s Top Criminal Lawyer under the age

By Phaedra Pym

of thirty. This story explores how a young Greek immigrant and son of a boilermaker became one of Australia’s most respected criminal lawyers and how he and his leadership team have built a brand that continues to grow and prosper, even during the toughest economic time in Australia’s Post-War era.

Manny grew up in Sydney’s western suburbs after immigrating to Australia with his family in the 1950s. He did well at school in the early years, but admits it was a different story in high school. Had it not been for the insistence of his mother and a kind-hearted manager at a large real estate firm, he says he would have dropped out after Year 10 to become a butcher. Switching schools in Year 11, he began to apply himself, scraping in enough marks for the Solicitors and Barristers Admission Board Exams. Through the referral of a friend, he started work as a law clerk, earning $25 a week while his apprentice mates were earning $150. His ‘master solicitor’ was well-known Sydney criminal lawyer, Howard Hilton. “I would follow him around and watch what he did.

I loved it so much that, instead of going home, I would sit in the criminal courts and watch trials. I loved seeing those reallife dramas unfold. That’s when I realised I wanted to be a criminal lawyer,” said Manny.

Since those early years, his passion for justice evolved into a mission to fight for the underdog, something for which Conditsis Lawyers is renowned.

Resigning from his job as law clerk in the mid 70s, Manny gained experience in finance and with the Public Solicitor’s Office (today’s Legal Aid Commission) while studying part time. By this stage, he was living on the Central Coast and commuting, which eventually took its toll. Accepting a job as Finance Manager at Grawill Motors, he learned invaluable skills over the next four years that would stand him in good stead for running his own business. “It taught me how to read balance sheets and how to understand profit and loss, how to deal with people from all walks of life, as well as bringing me down to earth, all things they don’t teach you at law school,” said Manny.

By the time he completed his studies in 1982, Manny had a family of his own to support. Despite earning a solid income in the finance management role, the lure back into law proved too great. Taking a significant wage cut, he accepted a job with a longestablished single-man law firm in Gosford, assuming the older practitioner would mentor him, however things didn’t eventuate as planned. By the end of 1983, Manny had bought the founder out, changing the name to Conditsis Lawyers two years later. With just a receptionist to support him, Manny built the practice by prospecting, literally picking up the phone and talking to local real estate agents. Before long, he began to receive conveyancing referrals and, given his experience, was also referred buyers struggling to obtain

finance. “Agents loved me because I was able to arrange finance for the difficult ones they were going to lose,” he said. The conveyancing practice and Manny’s reputation thrived, and some of the Coast’s largest developers retained him as their lawyer. At the same time, he was gaining broader experience in civil litigation, family law and criminal law.

Manny conducted his first jury trial in 1987, a serious assault case in which his client was acquitted at Gosford District Court. Ten years later, his first murder trial, which saw him successfully represent Dean Waters, put him squarely in the media spotlight. “I wasn’t thinking ahead, I was just doing what I believed I was meant to be doing, representing the underdog, which aligned with my passion and enabled me to use my advocacy skills to fight against injustice,” he said. Since then, he has appeared in four further murder trials.

Manny became an Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law in 2001 and the firm has specialists across all areas of practice. He won the NSW Law Society President’s Award for Pro Bono Services in 2012. In terms of pro bono work, Manny says it’s about merit on a case-by-case basis, not an annual target.

“I carefully assess all relevant factors and the personal plight of the prospective client.

I can relate to an individual being on the backfoot.” As the practice’s founder and senior mentor, Manny has always led by example and maintained an open-door policy.

He and Michal encourage all their lawyers, particularly in criminal law, to become Advocates and constantly challenge them

Jamie Clements, Emma Sutton, Manny Conditsis, Alexandra Bailey and Justine Dittel to learn and grow through hands-on experience in and out of the courtroom.

Conditsis Lawyers is a law firm focused on delivering excellent outcomes for regional clients. In line with this focus, a key business strategy for achievement during FY20/21 was to open a new regional office in Newcastle. The firm also has satellite offices in Sydney and Wollongong. Another strategic objective was to invest more time and capital into increasing brand awareness and engagement. Manny and Michal created a new position, General Manager, Marketing and Operations, engaging experienced local marketing professional, Justine Dittel, to the role in November 2020. Justine said, “During the past twelve months, Manny and

Michal were committed to growth, and they weren’t going to let the pandemic stop that vision. We have grown the team by 38% and enquiries have increased month-on-month since January.” Manny said, “Justine has been a tremendous contributor to all of that. So, to businesses, I would say, when times are tough, maybe that’s when you need to take a punt, back yourselves and put on staff who will help you get through that period. We’re still in COVID times and we have opened a new office with the intention to grow it over time.” With a new management team in place to drive the firm’s growth targets, including strategic business acquisitions, Manny has no intention of placing limits on the growth of the practice.

EDITORIAL

Edgar Adams discusses local issues

New identity for Gosford CBD AS THE ADMINISTRATION offices of Central Coast Council are centralised in Wyong and the old Gosford Council Chambers sold off to bail the organisation out, Gosford CBD searches for a new identity.

Earlier this year Gosford Chamber of Commerce initiated a project that will see the CBD become a music city.

Known as Gosford Beats, cafes and coffee shops and other venues are being encouraged to provide live music in their venues and live music in Kibble Park will be promoted.

The idea being to attract a new demographic into the CBD with money in their pockets including tourists looking for an eating and entertainment experience.

Gosford has the potential to become a vibrant, spirited city to visit and to live in.

Participating venues and musicians are being promoted on the Gosford Beats website as well as through Triple M Central Coast radio.

Initial costs to support this initiative is being provided through sponsorships.

Meanwhile with the University of Newcastle’s Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute, adjacent to the new Gosford Hospital, about to open this month these world class facilities will create new opportunities for the CBD. They will be the centre of a Health and Medical Precinct that will support the present medical professionals in Gosford and will encourage health and medical businesses to locate there.

Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks whose vision it was to create the clinical school and research institute said the Clinical School alone would provide 850 places for students plus lecturers, researchers and other support staff.

The Medical School and Research Institute is an $85 million project jointly funded by the Australian Government, NSW Government and University of Newcastle.

Add to this the University of Newcastle’s plans to establish a health, innovation and entrepreneurship precinct in the Gosford CBD with a new Campus to be built on the former Mitre10 site in Mann Street and we see Gosford becoming a university town attracting academics and students to bring the city to life.

All that is needed now is for the NSW Government to stop prevaricating on the future of the Gosford campus site and make an announcement as to its future.

Whether it be the University of Newcastle (which CCBR and Gosford Erina Chamber of Commerce strongly supports) or some other university, perhaps from Madrid!

Put together, all this will see a Gosford Education and Employment Precinct as promised by the Premier in the lead up to the last State Elections in March 2019.

Central Coast the Cinderella Coast While the State Government continues to pour mega millions into Western Sydney and around the regions, the Central

Visit our new showroom With the largest exclusive range on the Coast of designer handles, locks, hinges and sliding door tracking, sourced from the world’s leading manufacturers.

Coast has again missed out on any major investment for the region with a State Budget that comes very close to ignoring the region.

A media release put out by the Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch following the Budget, was headed JOBS, JOBS AND JOBS THE FOCUS IN THE NSW BUDGET – well it certainly was not the focus for the Central Coast.

It was all about money being spent across the state that had to be spent anyway. A wage increase for all public servants, free pre-school for everyone in NSW, free learn-to-swim lessons for every kid in NSW, and so on.

A few million here and there for the Coast that is ongoing expenditure in any event.

And funds for projects to be completed.

Sort of re-announcements.

Nothing that would give the economy a kick along, which this region desperately needs.

Nothing changes with this government. We are paying for voting Labor, simple as that.

New life for Forresters Beach Resort

Private equity firm buys Imperial Centre Gosford

Imperial Centre Gosford

Architect’s image of the new Forresters Beach Resort WELL KNOWN LOCAL businessman, Warren Hughes, and his wife Donna have purchased Forresters Beach Resort with plans to bring it back to its former glory.

Built in late 1980s the property had a reputation as a high quality function centre hosting weddings, business and social events, while offering accommodation of 100 beds.

Over the years it has seen a number of owners, gradually declining to a point where a substantial refurbishment has become necessary.

Mr Hughes bought the property for a reported six and half million dollars and is spending a further two million on a beautification program and transforming the resort to a preferred place for locals and tourists to visit with an emphasis on local employment, local suppliers and service operators.

The property comprises a 36-room 100 bed two level motel with pool and gardens

and wedding/conference facilities on a 8,231 sqm site at 960 The Entrance Road, Forresters Beach.

When completed in October it will feature a new locally operated bar, restaurant, café, deli, homewares, well being centre and travel agency.

As part of the purchase Mr Hughes also acquired Terranova Seniors Tours which the owners had acquired when the business was operated by the original operators who owned a motel at Niagara Park.

Terranova Seniors Tours specialised in bringing seniors to the Coast on two to five day coach tours and were well known and popular across the state in a market that they developed over 30 years. The business and motel were sold when they retired.

Mr Hughes said that he will bring Terranova Seniors Tours back to life and plans to double the current tours per year.

Melbourne private equity firm, IP Generation has acquired the shopping centre portfolio of the Lederer Group, owners of the Imperial Centre Gosford, for a reported $300 million.

The centres include Cessnock, Gosford, Richmond, Miranda, Corrimal and Goulburn.

Lederer Group have owned the Imperial Centre since 1998. in 2015 they spent $18 million on an extensive refurbishment of the centre that included an expanded food offering with 344 seats.

In an Australian first, Lederer Group, in early 2021 announced the opening of the ET Australia Secondary College, an independent high school located on the first floor of the Centre.

Opened in 1972 the Imperial Centre has had a number of owners. The Lederer Group bought the Centre from the South Australian Superannuation Fund for an undisclosed sum Meanwhile, the Lederer Group is moving forward with its Gosford Alive project to develop a five tower mixed-use development on the former Marketown site known as Kibbleplex.

Jobs boost from new emissions reduction projects IT CONTINUES TO be a very busy time at Berkeley Vale’s Star Scientific. Hot on the heels of the visit by the Prime Minister and Energy Minister Angus Taylor, with Robertson MP Lucy Wicks, the hydrogen research and development company was also visited by New South Wales’s Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean.

The plant also received a delegation of the Central Coast Food Alliance led by Central Coast Industry Connect’s Frank Sammut, where the group discussed the incorporation of hydrogen into the food manufacturing process.

With hydrogen firmly in the spotlight as one of the main ways that industry can reduce its Greenhouse Gas Emissions, it has certainly been a busy time for the Coast’s renewable energy entrepreneurs. CCBR has been told that there are some exciting announcements are in the pipeline.

The fact that the Central Coast was includ-

Chamberlain introduces new technology for commercial door opener range

Star Scientific Global Group Chairman Andrew Horvath with Prime Minister Scott Morrison ed as a Renewable Energy Zone under the State Government’s recent legislation means that we could see a surge of investment into the region, especially around our food industry.

Star Scientific reports that there is global interest from the food sector in their HERO® technology as the sector, especially those companies with a heavy export focus, looks to remove carbon from their supply chain.

This is being further pushed by the prospect that the European Union could bring in a form of carbon levy for cross border imports. The world’s eyes could be on the Central Coast!

Shorter payment terms and preferencing to benefit small business The NSW Government has announced that it will deliver on shorter payment times for small business and a refreshed SME and Regional Procurement Policy from 1 July, as part of the 2021-22 NSW Budget.

Large businesses who contract with NSW Government agencies for goods and services contracts valued at more than $7.5 million will be required to pay small business subcontractors within 20 business days, following the success of a pilot program earlier this year.

Minister for Finance and Small Business Damien Tudehope said the Small Business Shorter Payment Terms Policy was being introduced to better support small businesses engaged as direct subcontractors on Government projects.

“Cashflow can be a major issue for small businesses and the new policy will support the important role small businesses play in the NSW economy,” Mr Tudehope said.

“There is a growing focus on the payment performance of large businesses to small businesses and it is vital the NSW Government leads the way, in particular as the small business sector continues to recover from the impacts of COVID-19.”

The 2021-22 NSW Budget will also include a refreshed Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and Regional Procurement Policy.

CENTRAL COAST BUSINESS REVIEW JULY 2021

“The SME and Regional Procurement Policy was introduced in 2019, providing a range of measures to increase opportunities for SMEs and regional businesses to supply goods and services to the NSW Government. While its impact has been positive, we want to continually improve small business participation in our supply chain,” Mr Tudehope said.

Following industry consultation, changes introduced under the refreshed policy will include: • Increasing the current general exemption of $50,000 for small businesses to $150,000 for SMEs and regional businesses, meaning they can be directly engaged by agencies for goods or services up to that value, even where there is a whole-of-government contract in place; • Requiring agencies to first consider SMEs for procurements up to $3 million, where direct engagement is permitted; • Increasing the value that Government places on suppliers which deliver economic, ethical, environmental and social outcomes through a contract; and • Requiring suppliers tendering for contracts valued at more than $3 million to submit an SME and Local Participation Plan, which will become contractually binding.

Smart phone myQ app West Gosford based manufacturer of garage door openers, Chamberlain Group, has announced that their myQ technology for servicing residential customers will now be available to commercial users. myQ technology was developed by Chamberlain and offered to residential customers five years ago. myQ is an innovative way to safely monitor and control their Merlin branded garage door openers.

Grifco, Chamberlain’s commercial brand, will now provide industrial and commercial customers with technology to monitor and securely manage access to their facilities using the myQ platform. myQ technology also features real-time alerts, so company owners or managers know exactly when and how their properties have been accessed, plus history of when doors have been used.

Chamberlain Group’s Head of Products and Services, Rodney Boag, said, “This technology allows businesses to use the myQ App to control virtually any commercial shutter or door in a facility that is automated by a Grifco commercial door opener. The myQ App sends real-time alerts for when a door is activated or left open and allows managers to grant access to specific doors and/or within specific times. It allows senior members of staff to see what is going on in the warehouse at all times and have peace of mind that their business is secure.”

One of the first to install the myQ app was West Gosford based manufacturer of air conditioning ductwork Airpak Sheetmetal.

Commenting on the myQ technology, AirPak Factory Supervisor, David Ash said, “For a large commercial business like AirPak, I can’t always be on site to open doors or let people in, especially after hours. If I have a delivery or service that requires afterhours access, myQ makes it easy for me to jump on my phone and open the warehouse securely and safely, from wherever I am. Plus, I can give recurring or temporary myQ access to my staff members or cleaners, so nobody needs to wait for me to arrive with a key.”

Bambi meets COVID induced demand – invests in new machinery

TURNOVER IS UP more than 50% so far this year for West Gosford manufacturer of quality bedding products, Bambi Enterprises, due to JobKeeper and workfrom-home demand induced by the COVID pandemic.

While most Australian textile manufacturers packed up and went to China Bambi stuck rigidly to it’s philosophy of producing a quality Australian Made product which the market wanted both in Australia and overseas.

“For us the last year has been incredibly exciting and challenging,” said Peter Witney, Bambi Managing Director. “In 60 years of

business, I have never seen anything like it.

Sales in September last year were double what they were the year before,” he said.

However, the unexpected demand has placed a tremendous strain on the company’s resources; factory space, raw material purchases, deliveries from overseas, staff and funding the necessary capital investment in new machinery and working capital.

The result has been that the company has built new factory space and installed a new pillow line and the latest wool carding machine – an investment of some $700,000.

Mr Witney said that finding competent trained staff was a big problem and the result has been that they have had to work a lot of overtime which is a substantial added cost.

We have trained a number of staff to sew but we will need more but that will take some years,” he said.

Currently Bambi employs 30 people and Mr Witney saying that this will rise to 45 as they train new staff in the sewing trade.

Founded by Peter and Janita Witney over forty years ago, Bambi manufactures quilts, underblankets, mattress toppers, pillows, protectors and sheets protectors made in a wide range of natural materials from the finest wool, alpaca, natural plant fibres and cotton as well as man made fibres that include latex, memory foam, velour, microfibre, polyester and waterproof fabrics.

“We have grown 300% in revenue this year, hitting the seven figures. With over a million dollars in revenue this Financial Year this is a big achievement,” Ms Minto said.

This growth has enabled Ms Minto to expand her team, hiring a full-time employee to assist with customer service, order fulfillment and social media management.

Mid COVID-19, she hired a second customer service coordinator part time and an inhouse fashion designer one day per week.

In August Ms Minto moved the business to a commercial office and warehouse space.

Returning to Dubai, where she lived with her husband and two children, she started dabbling with products and ideas.

Despite a number of false starts, she eventually developed her signature design - a Western take on a kimono and Abaya, inspired by living in the Middle East and being exposed to lots of different cultures, and beautiful fabrics.

Designed to be one-size-fits-all to make selling online easier, she experimented with different fabrics, prints, shapes and lengths.

Initially, she juggled a corporate career and weekend markets to build her brand, eventually deciding online was where she wanted to dominate.

In 2014, Ms Minto put her energy into mastering online ecommerce and digital marketing for over two years before building her online store – iland co.

Within three years, the online business. was turning a healthy profit and her success was being noticed in the ecommerce fashion space. “

CEN T R AL COA S T COUNCIL NE WS

Referendum to determine Councillor numbers will proceed this September Central Coast Council will engage private provider Australian Election Company Pty Limited to conduct a Referendum on 4 September 2021 to determine community support for the reduction of Central Coast Councillor numbers from fifteen to nine.

Council Administrator Rik Hart said that while Council had previously resolved to engage the NSW Electoral Commission to conduct the referendum, it has since advised Council that it is no longer in a position to provide the referendum services on 4 September as originally planned and costed.

“The NSW Electoral Commission advised that it may be able to conduct a standalone referendum in March 2022. While serious consideration has been given to this option, this creates a challenging timeframe,” Mr Hart said.

“Should the referendum be carried forward to March, this would leave insufficient time for review and consultation of ward boundaries in time for a potential Council election in September 2022.

“For these reasons, and to provide the Central Coast community the opportunity to have their say on this important issue,

Australian Election Company Pty Limited will be engaged for the conduct of a Referendum on 4 September 2021, when local government elections are being conducted in NSW.” Voting in the referendum is compulsory for all Australian citizens over 18 who reside in the Central Coast Local Government Area.

The NSW Government has commissioned a review of the statutory framework for cracking down on badly behaved councillors to ensure it continues to allow quick and effective action to be taken for misconduct.

Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said the independent review would examine if penalties for councillors breaching the code of conduct remain sufficient, and ways to reduce the time and cost of complaints handling.

“Residents rightly expect high standards of behaviour from their elected representatives and the NSW Government has zero tolerance for councillors who put petty politics and egos ahead of serving the local community,” Mrs Hancock said.

“The Model Code of Conduct sets strict standards of behaviour for the 1,300 coun-

cillors at the state’s 128 councils to help ensure the ethical, accountable and transparent operation of local government.

“While the majority of councillors do the right thing, the NSW Government is determined to ensure those elected representatives who breach community standards face the consequences.”

The review will examine the effectiveness of penalties available to councils, the Office of Local Government and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Mrs Hancock said it will also look at the processes for making code of conduct complaints, the timeliness of disciplinary action, and misconduct frameworks implemented in other jurisdictions.

“The review will make recommendations for any legislative, policy and operational changes required to ensure NSW has the strongest system in the country to target bad behaviour and enforce high standards of conduct in our local councils,” Mrs Hancock said.

“The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that councils and the Office of Local Government are well placed to take quick and effective action against councillors who engage in misconduct so the public can have confidence in the people they elect to represent them.”

BUSINESS TIPS

What makes a good password?

Michael Trimblett

Before getting into the topic, think of this; you have often been recommended to use a password of 8 characters using a combination of upper case, lower case and numbers, right? Well, these days, with the right, easily obtained technology, a hacker will guess that password within an hour!

A password is like a needle in a haystack.

The haystack is the number of password combinations, and the needle is your password.

Password strength calculations are based on the pool of usable characters you can use; being 10 numbers, 26 lowercase letters, 26 uppercase letters and 33 symbols or special characters; 95 is the total number of characters you can use in passwords.

If you have a password length of 8, your possible password combinations are 95^8 which is a touch over 6.6 quadrillion possible combinations. That seems pretty strong. However, At the current rates in

hacker’s apps, this, by today’s standards, makes for a weak password.

In order to make your password computationally infeasible to guess, we need to use complex and long passwords. The current recommendation for passwords is at least 16 characters long and to incorporate upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. The formula then becomes 95^16 meaning it would take an average of 211.5 billion centuries to guess your password.

A secure password requires complexity, length and randomness. Hackers will employ a number of different methods in order to guess your password. A hacker will first attempt a “dictionary attack”- a predetermined list of words which can be either strung together or modified to substitute characters. Humans are bad at remembering random combinations so people will mostly use a word, combination of words with numbers or symbols at the end.

Hackers know this so they will try these techniques first. They can then apply ‘brute force’ by trying every single combination in the password pool. The longer and more complex a password, the longer the brute force will take.

On the Dark Web, there are archives of common passwords which have been exfiltrated from server breaches that happen every day. If your password has been leaked by one of these data breaches, your pass-

word may well be on one of these lists. This demonstrates that using the same password on multiple websites is also bad practice.

So, to recap; you should use a password of 16 characters or more, (upper, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols); It should be random AND you should use a unique password for EVERY website you visit.

I know what you are thinking “I can’t remember that many random passwords”.

You may not be able to, but a password manager can.

How to Really Love Selling

Trevor Marchant It doesn't matter if you're selling a product, a start-up idea, or simply a vision: Selling is not about pitches or closing deals. It's something much simpler.

Many people - even some who sell for a living - feel uncomfortable when they're selling, even if they don't share their reasons.

The reason people feel uncomfortable is they're making the mistake of thinking of selling as an activity that separates them from what they really enjoy doing.

It’s easy to feel that selling is trying to

CENTRAL COAST BUSINESS REVIEW JULY 2021

convince people to buy something they don’t want. That’s not selling – that’s ‘peddling.’ Selling is about giving and sharing; it’s about finding out what people want and why and it is in my view - passion with purpose.

Passion is what happens when you do something that truly interests and excites you. Passion has nothing to do with other people. Indeed, great artists often have a passion for their art that's completely disconnected from whether or not somebody else ever sees or hears it.

However, when you ask somebody else to participate in whatever it is that excites and interests you, you're adding a purpose to your passion.

At that point, whether you realise it or not, you're ‘selling’ because the other person must now decide whether to spend their time or money (which are the same thing, really) on whatever makes you excited and interested.

For example, suppose you've got a

great idea for a product, and you love talking about it, and you're enjoying making that idea into a reality. That's your passion.

When you tell somebody else about your idea, or show them the prototype, or ask them to invest in it, that's adding purpose to your passion.

The most successful business owners never ‘sell’ as a separate activity and neither do the most successful salespeople.

Whether their passion is to change the world or just help people one by one, it's that passion that does the selling.

This is not to say that sales skills don't exist, or they aren't valuable…. they are critical and must be learnt because they help you communicate your passion more clearly.

So, forget about ‘selling.’ Don't even think about the word if it bothers you.

Find what makes you passionate and then give that passion a purpose by inviting other people to become a part of it.

How can you not love that?

BUSINESS TIPS

MIND YOUR BUSINESS

By Troy Marchant, Director, Adviceco Chartered Accountants

4 reasons you must have a business plan right now!

The purpose of business planning is not only to give you the light on the hill – the goals that drive your strategies and focus – but, importantly, to improve your financial return. In this unpredictable business environment, COVID can surprise businesses with a forced closure or limited mobility, disrupt supply and consumer trends, or even change legislature with minimal notice, it is critical to revisit your business plan NOW to secure your chances of success. Here are some reasons to encourage a date with your business plan this EOFY. 1. Make better critical decisions A read-through of your business plan should trigger a reflection of what lies at the heart of your business, and whether all of your daily actions are laddering up to that. A reminder

of your succinct and clear business purpose is a healthy lens on your decisions.

2. Avoid making big mistakes and plan for risks The biggest business mistakes typically relate to market relevance, cashflow issues, people and culture, competition and pricing. A business plan update should highlight the probability of risk in these areas.

An updated risk analysis and scenario plan means that you’re leaving less to chance - most bases are covered, and you’re prepared to respond quickly and efficiently. This could be the competitive advantage that boosts your business and reaps significant financial rewards. A crisis can make or break a business.

3. Provide the viability of business and secure financing This relates to the compare-andmatch process of your financial reports with your business plan. Is your growth plan financially viable? It can be really valuable to update your market research at this point. Ensuring you are meeting your customers needs will support your profitability.

A fluid business plan that shows timely response to environmental and circumstantial change is more likely to garner the support of banks and venture capitalists.

4. To set and share better objectives and benchmarks Goal posts get moved…all the time.

We need to move with them. Has your business moved in the direction you expected it to? Is it continuing in the direction you envisioned?

When objectives change, your team will enable them, but only if they know about them. This is a good time of year to communicate any changes in your business plan and to articulate how you can work together to make them happen. Your team and business partners are making thousands of decisions about your business every day - communication will help them to make the right ones, and remind them to come to you for clarity, direction and collaboration. And remember, your team extends well beyond your employees. If your service providers are on board with your direction, they will adapt to support you.

Working collaboratively with your accountant on your business plan will ensure that your strategy is designed to deliver your financial and lifestyle goals.

FUNNY BUSINESS

A MAN AND his ever-nagging wife went on a holiday to Jerusalem. While they were there the wife died. The undertaker said to the husband, “you can have her shipped home for $5,000 or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150.”

The man thought about it and then said to ship her home.

The undertaker asked “why would you spend $5,000 to ship her home when it would be wonderful for her to be buried here in the Holy Land and you would only spend $150.”

The man replied, “a long time ago a man died here and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance.”

A man went to the Police Station wishing to speak with the burglar who had broken into his house the night before.

“You’ll get your chance in court,” said the Desk Sergeant.

“No, no, no!” said the man. “I want to know how he got into the house without waking my wife. I’ve been trying to do that for years!”

A woman in Star City Casino was losing at the roulette wheel.

When she was down to her last 10 dollars, she asked the fellow next to her for a good number.

“Why don’t you play your age?” he suggested. The woman agreed, and then put her money on the table.

The next thing the guy with the advice knew, the woman had fainted and fallen to the floor.

He rushed right over. “Did she win?” he asked. “No” replied the attendant. “She put 10 dollars on 33 and 46 came in.”

Doug had just formed his own rock band, and his little brother said one day, “Doug, I wish you and your band could be on TV!” “You think we’re good, eh?”

“Then I could turn you off!”

A man was walking down the street when he came across a body lying on the sidewalk. He ran to a phone and called 911.

The operator asked him where he was and the man replied, “I’m on Sycamore Drive.”

“How do you spell that?” the operator asked.

“S-i-c-k…” the man began. “No, s-i-c-a…..” no, s-i-k-a…. oh heck, let me drag him over to Lake street and I’ll call you back.”

Two men are drinking in a bar. One turns to the other and says, “I bet you $100 that I can bite my eye.” The second fellow thinks to himself, I guess he’s had about enough, so he replies, “OK, you’re on.” The first man takes out his glass eye and bites it. So the second man has to pay. Awhile later the first man says, “I bet you $100 I can bite my other eye.” The second man thinks, well, he can’t have TWO glass eyes; he obviously can see. So he says, “All right, you’re on.” The second man promptly takes out his false teeth and bites his other eye.

“Dad, where did I come from?” asks this 10-years-old. The father was shocked that a 10 year old would be asking a question like that. He was hoping to wait a few more years before he would have to explain the facts of life, but he figured it was better a few years early than a few days too late, so, for the next two hours he explained everything to his son. When he got finished, he asked his son what prompted his question to which his son replied, “I was talking to the new kid across the street and he said he came from Ohio, so I was just wondering where I came from.”

One day an employee came in to work with both of his ears bandaged.

When his boss asked him what happened, he explained: “Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and I accidentally answered the iron instead of the phone!”

“Well,” the boss said, “that explains one ear, but what about the other?” “They called back!”

Quote of the month “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
