It’s time to reflect on the year that was, and start setting goals for a big 2023

Well, it’s that time of year (already), the Christmas period can be both a rewarding time for small businesses and a stressful one. So, as you start to pack up your last orders and close your doors for another year, it’s time to reflect on 2022 and analyse how well your business performed. What improvements/ adjustments do you need to make for 2023? But more importantly, it’s time to celebrate another year having run a successful small business.

It’s time to take a break and unwind, this will help with the longevity of your business, reduce the stress of the year, and help kick start 2023. Once you have had your break and are ready to return, make sure you have a plan for the year and set out your goals. Where do you want to be at the conclusion of the year? How many clients? How much turnover? It’s important to set these goals, and plan for how you are going to achieve them.

You must take the time to create a social media strategy for your business, conduct a business health-check, and expand on your knowledge by attending our free webinars. We also have many advisors that would be more than happy to meet with you regularly to continue your businesses growth.

There have been many challenges throughout the last few years, but as a business owner, you can hold your head high as we close the doors on 2022. We have seen many great businesses come through our Centre this year, and it was great to be able to assist them on their small business journey. So, from both myself and the staff at the Western Sydney Business Centre, we thank the community for having trust in us, and we look forward to helping many more next year!

All roads lead to The Log Cabin

Returning for their first festive season in over 10 years, The Log Cabin confirms that they’ll be sticking to their roots when it comes to Christmas and New Year’s, with traditional events and offerings for everyone to enjoy.

Since reopening in April this year, COO Justin Tynan said he couldn’t be happier with the outstanding reception he and the new Log Cabin have received from the local community.

“It’s been a part of the landscape for so long, and then being shut down for 10 odd years, everyone came back in with a story of the old Log Cabin, and they hoped it would be the same,” he said.

“It’s brilliant being a part of the community again. It’s something that they really wanted to have back, so it’s a nice feeling.”

Now that they’re well and truly up and running, Mr Tynan couldn’t be more excited to bring back some of the Log Cabin’s traditional Christmas and New Year’s festivities, with a focus on fun, sport and the community to cultivate a true family affair.

“It’s about time!” he said.

“It’s nice to see people coming back in the doors, and putting on some of the things that they used to do back in the day will bring a really good sense of community.”

This year, the Log Cabin will be kicking the festive season off on Christmas Eve, with a Christmas-themed share menu for lunch and dinner at Sinclair’s, to the soundtrack of a live acoustic duo.

“Traditionally, Christmas Eve at the Log Cabin was a very local affair, so we’re aiming to get those people back, and just enjoy a really local Christmas Eve night,” he said.

Though they’ll be closed on December 25, the Log Cabin is backing it up on Boxing Day.

“We’ll be showing the cricket test live out in the courtyard, in partnership with 4 Pines Brewery,” he said.

“We’ll also have a DJ from 9pm to 2am.”

The festivities will then be turned up a notch heading into 2023.

On New Year’s Eve, the Log Cabin will have a local DJ starting from 6pm, and an exclusive New Year’s Eve celebration at Sinclair’s with a four-course set menu and Veuve on arrival, before the real party starts at 9pm, with the lights down and dance shoes on.

Then, on New Years Day, the Log Cabin is hosting a recovery party with a DJ pumping summer house tunes from 6pm.

With so much to do, Mr Tynan assures that all roads will lead to the Log Cabin.

Penrith’s greatest ever period of success has delivered the once struggling club a second straight Premiership and confirmed the Panthers are an unstoppable rugby league juggernaut.It is impossible to argue with James Fish-er-Harris’ cheeky claim that this is the best Penrith team of all-time. They are delivering an unprecedented sustained period of success and have lost just 10 games in the past three seasons, breaking countless records along the way. Coach Ivan Cleary and his co-captain son Nathan have also entered Panthers immor-tality, creating all sorts of history in what was one of the greatest Premiership defences the game has ever seen. Ivan is now the only Penrith coach to have won dual Premierships with the club, while at just 24 Nathan is on his way to becoming the club’s greatest ever player. But Cleary was overshadowed on Grand Final night by a stunning performance from fullback Dylan Edwards, who claimed the Clive Churchill Medal as player of the match. Penrith players and fans partied long and hard into the night after Sunday’s 28-12 demolition of Parramatta. It was a definitive game of this incredible Penrith era and proved the club’s dominance of the competition over the past three seasons. It was billed as the greatest Battle of the West in history but almost from the kick-off it was obvious Parramatta were little chance of stopping a switched on Penrith. Eels fans were barely in their seats by the time it was obvious the trophy was staying at the foot of the Mountains. Penrith has emerged from an 18-year title drought and near collapse to now have two more Grand Final wins, and show no sign of slowing down.

From Bathurst to Blacktown, Penrith offi-cially own the west – the result of hard work, taking a chance and a playing group that has taken the NRL by storm.
