District32 Radio Business owners making waves on District32 Radio

Since inception, the team at District32 (which is now a co-operative), has embraced innovation to develop brand awareness for its members and engage with the wider community. And, in June of this year, we launched District32 Radio, which has allowed the team to create and share exclusive content across a multitude of marketing platforms.

During a conversational interview with District32 Radio, business owners are given the opportunity to showcase key aspects of their business. The interview is then aired on the radio numerous times at various intervals, and we also upload it to iTunes to reach a potentially larger audience.

Together with District32, business owners then have the opportunity to share the Podcast across various platforms, including website, social media and email.

The video recording is also added to District32’s YouTube channel – Members, eager to interact with and grow their audience, have been quick to capitalise on the opportunity to share this unique content on their websites and social media.

Reaction to District32 Radio from members has been overwhelmingly positive.

Although a few feel nervous on arrival, members are quickly put at ease with our in-house interviewer, Tom Tapping. Tom has a wide knowledge of all things business and current in the economy as well as an outstanding background in the entertainment industry. Members have consistently remarked how relaxed they’ve felt and how they’ve found their experience on the airwaves enjoyable.

Another exciting and innovative aspect of the radio has been the introduction of the ‘Board’.

The‘Board of Directors’ comprises of six District32 members, with each being assigned a role to create a fictitious company. (The whole process will be captured and recorded by video.) The idea behind it is to encourage business owners to step out of their comfort zone into a new role, and then gather the information required to fulfil it – which will be a steep learning curve for some!

However, the educational value provided by the experience will pay dividends when they return to their businesses with new found

knowledge and understanding.

The process will also provide members with the opportunity to forge relationships with other business owners that will reap future dividends.

A strong community focus has always been at the forefront of District32, and the intention is to allow community groups, charities and sports clubs complimentary access to District32 Radio.

We also aim to use the radio station to galvanise the local community; to introduce them to a huge selection of quality local providers on their doorstep, via informative, educational and entertaining interviews with the District32 Co-operative.

With our innovative ideas to create greater brand awareness and to engage the local community like never before, the future is bright with District32 Radio.

District32 Radio is accessible from the District32 website and Mobile APP.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER ‘Band Aid’ Offer of $500,000 for Businesses in Perth

To help stimulate business growth in Perth, the District32 team has launched yet another exciting initiative – the Growth Accelerator Certificate (GAC) – which is a package of services worth $500,000! We assembled a group of business partners in the style of ‘Band Aid’ to provide these services, so business owners can gain expertise in Branding, Marketing, Sales, Consultancy, Business Systems, Human Resources, and have access to a Chief Financial Officer.

Working alongside business owners for the last 18 months, we identified several constraints to business growth, which varied depending on business type, position, and the impact of the recent downturn. To help you overcome these obstacles and grow your business we produced the GAC. We all know that Sales dictate the status of a business, yet many business owners struggle to develop strategies to cover short, medium and long-term requirements. With the GAC, we will provide hands-on, expert 6

support to analyse and review current strategies, and help you develop and implement a plan to improve your bottom line.

Marketing and Branding have to be effective to convey the right message to potential customers, but are often overlooked or poorly implemented.

Some business owners fail to appreciate how significant marketing and branding are to business growth, so don’t invest the necessary time, energy or budget. The GAC can help – feedback from those accessing it has been outstanding.

Business Systems and the team behind the business can either mean fluid delivery of services or a service that is expensive and cumbersome to roll out.

Therefore, building the right team and using efficient systems are essential. When did you last review these vital components of your business? District32’s GAC provides business owners with valuable insights and expert guidance on improving systems and procedures to promote growth.

How are your business’ finances?

District32 is offering business owners a unique opportunity – access to a Chief Financial Officer, who will dissect and review what your figures say about your business. The proactive advice of a CFO can add massive value to your plans and revenue streams.

District32 CEO, Lorraine Garvie, is excited about the roll-out of the GAC and said: “We are delighted to partner with a number of experts across a variety of fields and we are convinced these services will add value and growth to any business. The initiative perfectly reflects District32’s mission to support business owners and we are confident of its huge success”.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Why you need to ‘Learn to Plan’ and ‘Plan to Learn’ We’ve all heard the saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” But how many of us truly understand what proper planning is and why we should do it?

In my experience, people need to see perceived benefits before they’ll do anything.

So let’s take a step back and explore two of the best planning examples: 1. A Wedding 2. Building a house Most weddings are pretty great because every detail is considered, and the plans get reviewed and adjusted throughout the months before the big day.

For the second example, consider this: Builder Assistant: ‘Hi, this is Janine, how may I assist you?”

You: “Hello, I’m thinking about building a house and want to order some bricks please.”

Assistant: “Sure, how many would you like?”

You: “Well I’m not sure, how many do you need for a normal house?”

Assistant: “That depends on the house. Have you thought about the colour yet?”

You: “Not yet so maybe give me a few in every colour you’ve got.”

This interaction seems silly, as no one would ever just start building a house.

We’d go through meticulous planning, and re-planning, before we even ordered the bricks.

So where does planning fit in?

Dream Goal Plan Action

Once your dreams are clear, the next step would be to set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely).

These goals then need to be translated into a plan so that the actions we take feed up the line to ultimately achieving our dreams. The process is the same for business goals and personal dreams.

The disconnect between these four areas can result in procrastination, boredom, being overwhelmed, burnout and the like. Once you have absolute clarity of each step, it’s easy to focus, and more often than not, your goals and dreams are achieved faster than initially expected.

With this understanding, I often find people wanting to get a business plan done straight away, whether they have a start-up or well-established business. There are no restrictions on who needs a plan; if you don’t know where you want to go, how will you get there?

Planning is a tool for achieving your dreams and the more you work on it, the more your life and business will bear the fruits. Go for it!

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER RANSOMWARE : Business’ biggest threat

In 2015, Ransomware netted roughly $325 million in damages worldwide, and it is set to grow considerably in 2016. Following a one-month study by Norton, it was found that 68,000 computers were infected.

Spread by using social engineering, ransomware tricks victims into downloading an e-mail attachment or clicking a link.

These emails might look harmless, for example, a friend or colleague asking you to check an attached file, or a trusted institution (e.g. a bank) asking you to perform a routine task. Ransomware also uses scare tactics, claiming that the computer has been used for illegal activities, to coerce victims.

With a single click of the mouse, the malware can install itself on the system and encrypt files.

Ransomware is constantly evolving with new variants appearing all the time, so it would be almost impossible to compile a list of every type of ransomware proliferating today. While not a complete list, the following gives a sense of the major ransomware players: CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, CTB-Locker, Locky, TeslaCrypt, TorrentLocker, and KeRanger.

So, as a Business Owner what can you do to protect your business?

Education Educate your staff on what ransomware is and the threats that it poses, to protect your business against ransomware.

Provide your team with examples of suspicious emails; include clear instructions on what to do if they encounter a potential ransomware lure, e.g. don’t open attachments!

Security Antivirus software is essential for any business to protect against ransomware and other risks.

Ensure your security software is up to date to protect against newly identified threats and keep all business applications patched and updated to minimize vulnerabilities.

business to roll-back your data to a point-in-time before the attack occurred. The benefits to this are two fold: Firstly, you don’t need to pay the ransom to get your data back! Secondly, since you are restoring to a point-in-time before the ransomware infected your systems, you can be certain everything is clean, and the malware cannot be triggered again.

Matt Seeds Inspired IT 08 6142 8221 matt.seeds@inspired-it.com.au www.inspired-it.com.au

Backup Ransomware can breach even the best security software, so a secondary layer of defense is needed.

The solution is a modern total data protection, like Datto, that takes snapshot-based, incremental backups every five minutes. This technology creates a series of recovery points, allowing your

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Winning the District32 Spectacular Changed My Life!

What a year! I couldn’t have anticipated all the wonderful and wise people that I’ve met, been supported by and worked with over this past 12-months. Winning the District32 Spectacular has been a life-changing experience for me – and believe it or not I haven’t been one to use flashy language like that.

On the night I was super nervous and wanted to be lucky enough to be able to do my pitch first.

But unfortunately – or fortunately – that didn’t happen. I was last! In hindsight that was great because by the time it was my turn, my anxiety had reduced dramatically. I had just enough stress that I was pumped but not too much to be overwhelmed.

(Sometimes it’s helpful being a psychologist and knowing that anxiety symptoms can’t last forever, and you just have to outlast them!) It was amazing to have the opportunity to share my vision for the business. And what was even more amazing was winning! It didn’t sink in for days.

Little did I know the journey that I was about to begin.

It has now been an almost 12-month super intensive ‘ride’ that has seen me achieve great things for me and my business.

The generosity of the prize givers has continually floored me. The wisdom that they hold in their areas of expertise has been pivotal to taking my business to the next level. I’ve experienced business coaching and mindset coaching; I’ve received financial management, bookkeeping and accounting, legal services, PR, marketing and finally personality and leadership profiling. The prize givers have championed my cause, helped me find solutions, connected me with other businesses that assisted me and 10

helped me find creative ways to move forward – the gains have been enormous. I’ll be honest; there were simply too many prizes for me to use. But those I did were phenomenal.

You might be wondering what I have achieved in this period? Well, the coaching has been amazing. In addition to uncovering the layers of BS

that I had around some essential elements of running a business, I have had continued guidance, support and friendly ‘pushing’ to achieve my goals. Strategy, clarity, accountability, and creativity, are words that reflect my coaching experience. The coaching has been pivotal in helping me plan ‘A to Z’ and getting me, at this point 12 -months down the track, from ‘A to … well M’.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Winning the District32 Spectacular Changed My Life!

In addition to that, I am on top of my finances! I know that doesn’t sound particularly exciting but as a business owner you know just how important that is. And if you hate numbers like me, then you’ll understand even more just how much that has helped. The people involved have streamlined everything, identifying ways of managing my accounts and debtors. I can better manage my cashflow, and my team of psychologists can invoice me more efficiently and more accurately. Which of course is pretty important. I cannot tell you how much this has been a load off my mind.

The reality is that it needed to be done, and I would have otherwise had to pay for it. So receiving these tangible services as a prize has been amazing and saved me thousands.

On top of that, I’ve been in the media which contributed considerably to my brand awareness (I had lots of feedback confirming that). I created professional videos for marketing which as any business owner would appreciate are marketing gold! I’ve been invited to speak at many more events, and my workshops are selling out quickly. I’ve begun developing the online program – which once again requires professional videos – which I couldn’t have done without winning the prize.

But the crème de la crème is without a doubt ... Drum roll, please ...

I have written and published my book, The Conscious Mother: A simple guide to mothering with self-awareness, authenticity, confidence, and connectedness.

This is a HUGE achievement for me and one which still fills me with enormous pride, a fair amount of amazement and massive amounts of laughter – because it is so bloody absurd to me!

Without a doubt, winning these prizes has significantly improved my businesses.

But more importantly, it has changed me. I have learned what’s possible and what I’m capable of achieving.

It’s allowed me to dream big and has given me the tools to make huge strides towards fulfilling my dream! It also made me hugely accountable. Because when you win this kinda prize, you truly have to grab the opportunity with both hands and produce something wonderful. I’m confident I have, and to District 32 and all the prize givers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Brand Confusion

Many people, including some graphic designers, seem to be confused by terms such as brand, brand identity, brand management and brand mark.

Let’s try and clarify matters.

Your brand is everything. It is what you manufacture or the service you provide along with the association between your organisation, your suppliers and your customers. Your brand has a reputation and a following. Think Ford and Holden, Coles and Woolies.

It also has an identity. But a brand identity is much more than a logo. It is all your visual marketing materials. Things like text, colours, fonts, images, music, sounds and even textural experiences can all form part of your identity. Just like people have identities. You may like or dislike someone, trust or mistrust them – perhaps with little or no evidence to support those feelings. It’s the same with brands.

If you have evidence that your brand maybe looked upon unfavourably, it’s time to consider improving it. Is your business communicating in the right way to the right people? Are you giving your customers what they want?

Do your staff feel empowered by what they sell?

12

Use research to make sure your brand is communicating well.

If not, consider re-developing.

It might require something as simple as a change of colour, or introducing new services. Either way, this process should involve the constant and ongoing pursuit of excellence in everything from product design and marketing strategies to staff motivation and client/customer relations. A brand can always be improved with better design or management.

When defining your brand and launching it into the marketplace, the main goal is for it to be recognised in a positive way.

This is where the brand mark comes into its own. A thoughtfully designed and well-promoted brand mark can speak volumes. Look at the Nike ‘swoosh’ or McDonald’s golden arches. They have become internationally recognised symbols of successful brands.

But don’t try to design your brand mark yourself. Find a competent graphic designer and provide them with as much information as you can to describe exactly what you want your brand mark to achieve. Consider colours, symbolism, history and customer expectations. Should your brand mark be supported by a slogan?

By working with an experienced designer and providing a detailed brief, you too can have a brand mark that goes a long way towards building a memorable and influential brand.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Take Control of Your Business – Go Profit Hunting!

Most people have experienced cost cutting and efficiency drives.

They are generally negative events which often fail to improve returns for business owners and can lead organisations into cul-de-sacs as far as future options are concerned.

Profit Hunting Campaigns have some similarities to cost cutting and efficiency drives but are fundamentally different. They are designed to align the whole organisation, its culture and thought process behind profit enhancement; thus improve organisational performance by making improvements across the whole business.

Profit Hunting explores identifiable options for improvement and packages a number of incremental enhancements together to effect significant improvement across an organisation.

The process is centred on organisations accessing greater opportunities that provide better future options. Profit Hunting challenges the status-quo of an organisation and encourages improved relationships with suppliers and clients.

Some Useful Things to Know • Every company can Profit Hunt and make a huge difference (often 30%-200% profit improvement), from one person operations to the largest organisations • Every campaign is different; there is no magic, common formula • Regular Profit Hunts help maintain an organisation’s profit focus • Research of organisations that have held Profit Hunting campaigns found only 20% of total profit improvements 14

were realised from headcount and general expense reduction • Usually, 80% of total profit improvements are realised from positive activity including revenue, client, supplier and asset initiatives

Even More Useful Things to Know • Well run businesses can often camouflage profit potential; they often benefit the most • Big savings planned for sometime in the future usually fail to materialise • Profit Hunting campaigns also identify strategic or other issuesaffecting your business • Profit Hunting is just as beneficial when companies are doing well as when under pressure • ‘Profit focus’ is not the same as ‘Profit at all cost’

We are professional business managers who have years of experience delivering profitable and successful operations.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER Liquid Allsorts Most of us have been there; a plumbing emergency! Many plumbing jobs are urgent and happen at the most inconvenient time – blocked drains when you’re about to have guests over, a burst pipe in the middle of the night, or your hot water unit packs in on Easter Friday. If your business toilet block backs up, will your staff hang around? That’s where having a quality and reliable company such as Liquid Allsorts Plumbing Solutions comes in handy. With a growing client base, Liquid Allsorts continues to raise the bar in the local plumbing and gas scene.

As well as maintenance works, Liquid Allsorts provides its service to commercial and domestic builders, owner builders, shop fitters, and renovators. We often liaise with other trades to ensure works are organised, efficient, and completed on time.

We specialise in: • Commercial and domestic maintenance • New homes • Renovations • Commercial refurbishments • Backflow testing Save Money If you want your storage hot water system to last more than 7 years, it must be serviced. We recommend an anode inspection 3 years after installation and bi-yearly after that. It’s also important to flick the relief valves on a couple of times every 3 months to stop them seizing up! If you’re too busy to remember, we can schedule a reminder for you and book in a service. At Liquid Allsorts we love preventing the early demise of your hot water system.

Commercial and Domestic Property and Strata Managers Working with many property managers over the last decade has given us an insight into how difficult their job can be – pleasing the needs of tenants, saving the pockets of homeowners, and curbing the chaos in a multi-story apartment or office block can be very stressful, especially with lots of emails and phone calls hitting their inbox 24/7. That’s where Liquid Allsorts can help. With quick turnaround times and quality service, we pride ourselves on easing the workload of property managers and helping them to be more productive in their day to day business.

Matt Latham Liquid Allsorts 92914998 matt@liquidallsorts.com.au www.liquidallsorts.com.au

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER FOCUS AND ACCOUNTABILITY: WHY WE ALL NEED A COACH I would like to share a recent experience with you about how Focus and Accountability changed my success.

One of the things I wanted to achieve this year was to lose weight. I ate well, attended boot-camp, and led a pretty active lifestyle – easy, right? I lost a bit of weight, but for every 1kg lost I seemed to put 0.8kg straight back on.

My trainer, Sean, regularly runs a program in conjunction with a nutritionist throughout the year. I finally decided to sign up, figuring it would do me no harm, and I just might lose weight. Part of the program includes a “Buddy Challenge”. I’ll own up now; I just wanted to lose weight.

After the first round of measurements, I found I had made it into the top 5 at number 5, much to my surprise. I hadn’t done any more exercise than I normally do and I hadn’t radically changed my diet.

So what was different? My Focus.

I wasn’t overwhelmed with a lot of rules and crazy steps, just a simple meal plan. Also, I was being held accountable by both the nutritionist and Sean with his trusty tape measure. And, I had paid money for this!

After the first lot of measurements something kicked in, and I thought “I’ll never beat the guy at the top, but maybe I can be number 2.” My already increased focus shifted up another notch.

My accountability shifted up another level too, at least in my mind. Sean published the Top 5 individual and team results on his closed Facebook group and suddenly “everyone” knew how I was doing.

16

I am delighted to tell you that after the eight-week program, I beat my personal goal – I finished as the top individual, and my Buddy and I also took out the Buddy Competition.

So what has this to do with achieving more in your lives and businesses, I hear you ask?

Focus and Accountability are what a coach, be it a business coach, relationship coach, life coach, etc., will bring to your life.

Someone to help you focus on your most important goals and break them into smaller do-able tasks, all the while holding you accountable for achieving them and the success you deserve.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER IS YOUR LOYALTY TO YOUR BANK COSTING YOU? Are you one of those people who thinks that if you show loyalty to your bank then they will look after you? My clients often say that they’ve been with their bank for a long time and they therefore assume that their bank will look after them by providing a competitive rate. The fact is that while rates have been falling, banks have not been passing on the full rate cuts to existing clients, while new clients are offered discounts. There is therefore every chance that your loyalty to them is costing you. The fact is that while rates have been falling, banks have not been passing on the full rate cuts to existing clients, while new clients are offered bigger discounts.

If you go to your local bank they will only offer you their own products, and they certainly won’t tell you that the bank next door would be a more suitable lender for you, nor will they tell you what the lowest possible rate is upfront. You may be thinking: “No, I got a great discount of 0.7%.”, however, there is no way of knowing that this is their best possible offer.

KeyInvest Lending Services has hundreds of different loan options available from over 30 lenders. We also have pricing tools which allow us to determine the lowest interest rate that lenders are prepared to offer you to win your business. In particular, larger discounts are available for principal and interest loans for owner occupied with larger loan amounts. Recently we have achieved discounts of up to 1.45% off the standard variable rate.

We do not charge any fees for this service as it’s the lender that pays a commission for settled 18

deals. This has no effect on the rate that you are charged. We will also try and negotiate any upfront or ongoing fees with your lender.

If your loan is currently less than 80% of the value of your house and you have not had someone look at your loan set up recently, then it is almost certain that your interest rate is too high.

Our goal is to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible. If you aren’t, we can assist you by contributing up to $1000 dollars to any changeover costs you incur for loans above $300,000.

This offer is available to all District 32 members until the end of 2016.

To make a reasonable comparison on what you can save, we only need to know a few details: your current loan amount; the address of your property and estimated value; your current lender rate; and whether the property is owner occupied or investment. If you email these details to David Cosgrove a comparison of current rates will be sent to you, showing you how much you could be saving.

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER You Need What You Already Have…

Imagine what your life would be like if you could take regular, proper holidays? Or, get home from work at a reasonable hour to spend time with your loved ones? What if your business ran even when you are not there?

And was profitable? Worth more?

The difference between you and those that have those luxuries is that most successful businesses have good systems in place with the right information readily available to their team members. “This is how we do things here” forms part of the culture of the business.

Running a small business, just as most of us do in District32, you no doubt face similar problems to others in the group even if they offer a different product or service.

Right now, the truth is, you already have a system. It may not be effective, and it may all be in your head, but nevertheless, it is a system.

The challenge is to get everything you know out of your head and documented in a way that is simple and describes how your organisation works across all areas.

Once done, growing becomes much easier because each area can be handed off or delegated to the right person.

Be crystal clear about: • Responsibilities of each role • The ‘how to’ of each task • Exactly what results are expected (How do staff know they are doing a good job?)

Clarity means you’ll get consistency of delivery, and you won’t have to micro-manage staff. Set clear roles and tasks and let your staff get on with it.

You then manage by results.

A natural consequence is that you’ll gradually find yourself

spending more time on strategy; focusing on growth rather than firefighting.

A common misconception is that to achieve this will take too much time and effort.

James Bryden The Productivity Coach 0421 210 444 james@productivitycoach.com.au productivitycoach.com.au

However, having systems in place will save you time in the long run.

But it doesn’t mean taking your eye off the ball. A good way to keep track is to allocate 1-2 hours per week at a specific time, during a quieter period when the phone isn’t ringing. Over time, you’ll be way ahead of the game.

If you don’t start implementing systems and procedures, that’s your choice. But, are things going to be any different for your business 12 months from now?

Wouldn’t you rather own business instead of a job?

EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER TVS Lifesaving 101 When I was a boy, the only device to ‘save’ you from electrocution was the porcelain rewireable fuse. It was designed to protect the cable from overloading – fuse wire would melt, or the fuse would ‘blow’ if the cable was short-circuited (when Dad hangs a picture and bangs a nail though the cable in the wall).

The next ground-breaking device was the Circuit Breaker which is an electric switch version of the fuse.

No more fiddly fuse wire, just flick a switch to reset the breaker, wow!

Step forward the RCD! (Sound of angels singing).

RCDs monitor electricity and will switch off should a dangerous situation arise. They help prevent electrocution, and Australian law says you should have at least two RCDs protecting your power and lighting circuits. (I recently installed an RCD in a residential property that saved my client’s life!)

Smoke Alarms It is compulsory to have at least one hard-wired smoke alarm in residential premises which should be positioned in a living area and near bedrooms. They are required to be interconnected – when one sets off they all do. Smoke alarms have a ten-year lifespan.

The Department of Fire and Emergency (DFES) recommends installing Photoelectric smoke alarms because they are capable of detecting a fire at the early stages (smoke) – where there’s smoke there’s FIRE!

Fire Extinguishers All businesses and residential premises should have an extinguisher provided to protect against the outbreak of fire. The two most common are Dry Powder

(messy white powder) used on everything apart from oils and fats; and Carbon Dioxide (cold foam) used on electrical equipment and flammable liquids. If you have a fat fryer, a Wet Chemical extinguisher is recommended.

Fire Blankets should be available

in all premises where there’s a cooktop. Fire blankets are used for smothering fires and also for wrapping someone escaping a fire.

An oil/fat fire on your cooktop can become 1700 times bigger if water is thrown on it!
