WHY? WHY NOT?
WINTER GET AWAY
WHY? WHY NOT? These simple questions can pack a punch when it comes to business decisions and strategy. We ask it often with our clients at Brilliance for Business.
Just a short car trip away, Misty View offers a romantic getaway second to none. You work hard, so maybe it’s time to take yourself away on a little couple’s retreat for two. Get back that spark that busyness sometimes fades.
Some real-life examples of how we’ve used these questions: • We are thinking about starting a new arm of the business. Why? •W e can’t increase our prices – our customers just won’t pay that. Why not? •W e want to take time out from the business and travel in a couple of years. Why not now? • We can’t find good staff. Why? If you find it hard to answer the ‘why’ or ‘why not’, then there might be more to it that’s worth brainstorming. Why or why not can be really powerful tools in any entrepreneur’s toolbox. I challenge you next time you need to make a decision, big or small, to use these questions to help flesh out the challenges or opportunities behind it. ca

BUILDING INDUSTRY DISPUTES The building and construction industry in Queensland can be complicated to navigate as it is highly regulated. At Klein Legal, we see first-hand the type of disputes that frequently arise within the industry and what could have been done to avoid them. Disputes can arise between a number of different parties including building owners / homeowners, building contractors, subcontractors and third parties. Disputes we regularly see arise within the industry relate to building defects, late completion or non-completion of works, variations, property damage and retentions. Defects are often the centre of building disputes and may cause issues such as non-payment. Defects can be structural or non-structural (aka minor defects). What is a defect and whether it is structural or minor can be a contentious issue between parties. By engaging a building and construction lawyer, disputes can be avoided or at least effectively managed. If you need a building and construction lawyer, contact us at Klein Legal today. ca This is general information only and does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
