High stress, financial woes, and people management challenges can lead to a mental health abyss. Get control to avoid it.
- [69% of small businesses use AI regularly. Far fewer have changed how the work gets done](https://inspiringbusiness.net/69-of-small-businesses-use-ai-regularly-far-fewer-have-changed-how-the-work-gets-done/): Most small businesses now use AI regularly, yet far fewer have changed how the work actually gets done, which is why the promised productivity boom keeps arriving as a faint improvement rather than a real one. The tools are everywhere. The rethink that makes them pay off is rare. That gap is the whole story.
- [Division 296: the new tax on super balances over $3 million, and the one-way decision behind it](https://inspiringbusiness.net/division-296-the-new-tax-on-super-balances-over-3-million-and-the-one-way-decision-behind-it/): The new tax on large superannuation balances has had no shortage of coverage.

A crowded exit is a buyer’s market.](https://inspiringbusiness.net/succession-is-now-the-top-driver-of-mid-market-deals-a-crowded-exit-is-a-buyers-market/): Around 85% of dealmakers say succession will be a key driver of mid-market mergers and acquisitions this year, up from 37% a year earlier. If you are thinking about selling in the next few years, that jump should give you pause rather than comfort. A wave of owners reaching for the exit at the same time is good news for buyers and advisers. It is a harder story for the seller standing in the queue.
- [Pay a ransom and you now have 72 hours to tell the government](https://inspiringbusiness.net/pay-a-ransom-and-you-now-have-72-hours-to-tell-the-government/): Picture the worst version of a Monday. Your systems are locked, a screen is demanding payment, and your bookkeeper can't process a thing. You decide to pay to get the business running again. Under Australia's Cyber Security Act, that decision now comes with a second obligation most owners have never heard of: you have 72 hours to report the payment to the government.
- [The small business privacy exemption is being narrowed, and your trade may be next](https://inspiringbusiness.net/the-small-business-privacy-exemption-is-being-narrowed-and-your-trade-may-be-next/): For years, most family businesses have run on a quiet assumption: the Privacy Act is something big companies worry about, not you. That assumption held because of the small business exemption, which lets businesses under $3 million in turnover stay outside most of the Act. The exemption hasn't been abolished. It is being chipped away, one industry at a time, and the first group loses it on 1 July 2026.

Book a call to see how I can help you to learn from my mistakes. Book a a 15 minute Information Call Here THE JOURNEY THAT LEAD ME HERE As a 30 year old in the 80’s, I was recruited to my dream job as a National Sales Manager.Big car, big salary, over 30 staff with 5 direct reports. Jackpot. My new employer believed I was the ideal candidate and I felt I deserved it after spending 10 years working my way up and proving myself in sales. After about 6 months I realised I had no idea what I was doing, my staff started ignoring me, I couldn’t get meetings with my boss and I had a target on my back.It took them another 12 months before they put me out of my misery and by then I had made a real mess of it. What I couldn’t figure out was how had this happened. I had read all the books, done all my research, been to all of the workshops and seminars. My theory should have been down pat. Instead, I couldn't engage people and failed at my job. Worst of all my staff hated me. I am pretty sure they cheered as I left the building and not ONE person came and wished me well in the future. That was a bigger blow than being let go.It was at that point that I realised I needed to get better in my People Skills, I needed to take a step back and align my work behaviour with who I was. I had the business Jekyll and Hyde syndrome and was wearing a mask that was not authentic. Plus, I also had some youthful attitude, and not in a good way. I thought I had to ‘drive’ my staff to get the best out of them, that’s what I did, so why didn’t they? I couldn’t have been more wrong. For the past 25 plus years, I have made it my mission to teach others how not to make these same mistakes. To do that I first had to work on me and continually learning and improving on ways I do things. I have been fortunate have bosses, coaches, mentors, and people I respect give me advice and as a Management Consultant and Coach my mission is to be that inspiration to my clientsI am proud to say that I have been able to inspire and generate positive business outcomes with whom I have trained and mentored. Now when I leave a business after delivering a Workshops or finish a Consulting engagement there is joy and pride at how we have all grown and what we have achieved together. Sounds easy, right! Wrong. It took a lot of hard work and commitment by me and the teams I worked with to get the outcomes they wanted.Whether you’re a business owner or executive, a new or aspiring manager, then you’re in the right place
