Affordable Childcare Benefits EVERYONE – (Not Just a “Mums Issue”)
November 29, 2010
By Amy Lyden
If the Australian Government truly wants a socially inclusive society, and for women to participate more actively in the workforce, it MUST do more to make childcare affordable.
Before you stop reading this because “I don’t have kids” or “this doesn’t impact me directly” – WAIT: Childcare isn’t only an issue for women and families with children. Access to a range of different types of affordable childcare impacts all Australians.
How?
For those women who choose to work (or have to for financial reasons) it means financial empowerment and independence. Financial independence from men, from their families, from the government. It means more superannuation to help them in their senior years. With more financially secure women around there will be less of a burden on government social services in the future.
For Australian businesses, more working women means access to a rich resource that in the past hadn’t been available. It means having an organisation that is truly diverse in its makeup, which will ultimately translate into a more profitable bottom line. In a recent survey from McKinsey, 72% of respondents believed there was a direct connection between a company’s gender diversity and its financial success (read the results here).
For Australian society at large, greater participation by women in the workforce means a more balanced society that fully represents its community. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about this when she was recently in Australia. I’m paraphrasing here but Ms. Clinton suggested that societies with more women leaders are less autocratic, experience less wars and are more emotionally advanced (well, I added the last bit 
).
What can the government do to ensure greater women participation in the workforce? There have been a lot of options discussed about how to make childcare more affordable including tax deductions for nannies and other forms of care. I believe a first step that would have a huge impact is for the government to:
Extend the Child Care Rebate (CCR) to registered childcare. At the moment the CCR (50% rebate of out of pocket expenses) is only available to “authorised” child care centres, which tend to be larger, community-based centres with lots of children. Most family day care options are “registered” not “authorised” and therefore cost a significant amount more. Family day care tends to be a smaller, family-style environment run from home. For many families, this is the next best thing to having a family member care for your child, particularly babies. For a woman to consider returning to work, she must have absolute faith that her child is being looked after in the best possible way, and this means different forms of care for different families. If the government truly wants women to have “options” for childcare it should consider rolling out the CCR to include registered childcare options.
What can YOU do?
Lobby lobby lobby…. Please write to your local MP, or Min Kate Ellis (Minister for Employment Participation and Childcare and Minister for Status of Women) and Min Tanya Plibersek (Minister for Human Services and Social Inclusion) on this issue and suggest the above.
This affects ALL Australians. It is important for our future and will open up more opportunities for women and create huge benefits for society at large.
What do you think?

10 Tips for Managing the ‘Silly Season’
November 26, 2010
By Kristy-Lee Johnston, Footprint Recruitment
With the Christmas and New Year celebrations about to kick into full gear, it’s time that you planned how you might manage the ‘silly season’ with relation to your staff. Specifically, their behaviour, attendance and overall frivolity during the coming weeks and months.
Here are my top 10 tips for staff management during the ‘silly season’:
1. Don’t be a bah humbug! There is nothing that will turn people off work quicker at this time of year than a distinct lack of Christmas cheer! Undoubtedly, the lack of focus which often occurs towards the end of each year can be frustrating for managers and business owners, however failing to ‘embrace’ the fun of the season will only exacerbate the situation.
2. Set clear guidelines for what is acceptable and unacceptable in the workplace. If the guidelines are set and made clear to all employees, their can be no excuses, and no confusion as to what you will and won’t tolerate at work related functions (as well as in the workplace).
3. Remind staff of your drug and alcohol policy and sick leave policy. This again encourages awareness and communication, and most importantly, clarity.
4.Remind staff of your social media policy and monitor social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. A comment which may seem ‘funny’ to someone late after a night out, may have a detrimental impact on another staff member, or in fact your business as a whole.
5. If you don’t have any of the above policies implement them now! Their is no better time than right now to get these in place if you don’t have them. You can download a variety of templates and examples online, or seek help from a HR professional. The short time spent getting these in place could end up saving you 10 times that in dealing with issues resulting from staff not being ‘clear’ on what is and isn’t appropriate.
6. Organise your Christmas function so staff can enjoy themselves in an environment which is controlled and safe. This may mean hiring a private room or venue, organising transport for staff, ensuring responsible service of alcohol and making sure there are some responsible attendees looking out for those who may be enjoying the event a little ‘too much’.
7. Encourage staff to put in for annual leave on days they will want off. This will reduce the number of ‘sickies’ you need to manage, so at least you can plan ahead if you know when staff will be absent.
8. Make work fun. As the saying goes, ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’. Embrace the festive nature of the season and make working fun! Perhaps you can decorate the office, change the way you answer the phones, have daily prizes for achieving goals and targets, encourage staff to dress in Christmas colours/themes or play Christmas carols in the office.
9. Get Flexible. Figure out ways to get the work done, but in a way that allows staff some flexibility to enjoy the various events they may have on (or even just the great weather). Perhaps you can change hours for some or all of your staff so that some staff start early and leave early and others do the late start and finish. Another great idea is to work an extra half hour Monday to Thursday, and then allow staff (where possible) to leave 2 or 3 hours early every Friday.
10. Be tolerant of those who don’t celebrate Christmas. Whilst it may be the case that the majority of your staff celebrate Christmas, be aware that not everyone does. If you have staff in your office who don’t observe this celebration, be mindful of their beliefs and include them without making them feel ‘pressured’ to hold the same beliefs as others. This doesn’t mean ‘cancelling Christmas’ or anything like that, it’s just about using common sense and being courteous.

How to Start and Operate Multiple Businesses, Successfully.
November 24, 2010
By Lisa Murray, Revive Business Coaching
The revival of the arts and the birth of the sciences from the 14th century through to the 17th gave rise to the term renaissance man – one known as an expert in many fields, ultimately typified by Michelangelo. Are you someone who finds it impossible to choose between your many loves? If so, don’t be surprised to find yourself starting a second business!
We used to live in an either/or universe where we had to trade off our loves against each other – the costs of dabbling in many fields were simply prohibitive. The immense changes in recent years (social media, outsourcing, cloud computing etc.) are now allowing us to create innovative business models which have very different requirements in terms of time and resources when compared to traditional start-ups.
Successfully operating multiple businesses has become a very real possibility for us renaissance types. The good news is we can now choose AND instead of either/or. We can choose to do a whole lot more of what we love! I see a lot of people frustrated with the advice to ‘choose a niche’ and stick to it. That’s because we have so many great ideas, and so many interests. So how do you move from that long list of things that bring you joy and bliss into multiple profitable businesses?
Choose the business idea which is most likely to generate the greatest profits for the least effort. This business will most likely bankroll the second business you start. If you look at Warren Buffett’s investing strategy it makes use of this simple concept – each investment he makes provides the cash for the next investment.
Don’t start the second business until you have the first business running successfully – ideally with a team in place. This is closer to the Richard Branson model – he gets to play with lots of ideas that are fun for him because he did the hard yards in his first businesses. His philosophy is that if you can run one business well, you can run any business well. The key to success here is working out what a successful business model looks like, taking into account your management style, talents and abilities. It’s different for all of us!
Keep a list of business ideas. It will be easier and faster to start the second business if you can leverage if off the first one!
Before you start celebrating and run off to start your next business, you’ll need to think about the risks – I’ll cover some of these in my next post.

Corporate Blogging: Give Your Business a Free Online Presence
November 22, 2010
By Nerida Gill, Admin Bandit
The average Australian spends about 18 hours a week online, yet according to Research International, 66% of small businesses don’t have a website.
Now, being an accounting type, I know I bombard you with numbers, but you don’t have to be a genius to see these statistics are seriously unbalanced.
Talk about missed opportunities!
The problem, of course, is that we’re small business owners, not web designers – and, while the cost of a good website has inched down over the last 15 years, it simply doesn’t fit into the average marketing budget of just under $6,000.
There is, however, another way to gain a successful web presence – a blog.
What is a Blog?
A blog is a mix between an editor’s column and a diary, an online space where you, as author, post news and opinion. Blogs by small business owners fit into what is known as the “corporate” category, which means their key purpose is for marketing, branding and public relations.
Why Blog?
Quite simply, small businesses that blog have far better marketing results, says Blogger and Marketer Rick Burnes. Given that 77% of Internet users read blogs, according to Universal McCann, their audience potential is greater than other media forms. For example, the world’s most popular blog, The Huffington Post, attracts an estimated 28 million unique visitors a month!
Of course, it’s not really about being the biggest and best. Blogging is essentially a relaxed forum for sharing ideas and information in way that encourages two-way interaction with existing and potential customers.
How to Blog
Forget shopping carts, domain name registration and the A-Z of programming languages – the average person can set up a blog in a couple of hours using any one of 40-plus blog platforms. Blogger and WordPress are two of the easiest and best-known, offering an array of templates, settings and widgets (small applications, such as a “search box”) to help customise your blog to suit your business and its image. You can even upload a logo or use your corporate colours and fonts.
I recommend you definitely include the following:
- A text box of contact details, including email address and phone numbers.
- A “stat counter” to track performance, including reader numbers and popular posts.
- An RSS feed, which essentially a subscription-based email to remind readers to visit your blog to read new posts.
- Allow moderated comments (you approve comments before they’re posted) to encourage feedback and conversation.
What to Post
Some corporate bloggers share everything from where they went on holiday to the birth of children. While you may want to draw a line at how personal your posts get, make sure you give your business personality – readers respond when they feel like they know you, which can be as simple as posting about the behind-the-scenes parts of your business, such as a Christmas party or repainting your office.
Other things to write about include:
- Successes and lessons learned.
- New products or services.
- Events, such as trade shows, courses and conferences.
- Related businesses, such as your suppliers (or ask them to write a guest post).
Whatever you cover, follow a few simple “dos” and “donts”:
- Post regularly, at least once a week.
- Use a friendly and casual tone.
- Keep posts to between 250 and 600 words.
- Avoid obvious marketing and PR.
- Always include images … learn to take good photographs or find copyright free on websites such as Flickr.
- Promote your blog on all marketing materials, especially your email signature.
- Optimise your blog for search engine traffic by submitting it to blog directories and repeating a key phrase in headers and post titles.

Professional Women Seek Alternatives to Traditional Business Degrees
November 22, 2010
“Savvy women are among the new breed of students demanding postgraduate business qualifications that are better tailored to today’s workplace needs and issues.” This is how a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald begins. The Australian Businesswomen’s Network (ABN) was asked to comment on the relevance of traditional business degrees (including MBAs) to today’s working woman.
While the ABN is a big advocate of education (and offers its own range of courses and mentoring), Suzi Dafnis took the opportunity to mention that the average working woman does not have the time to fit study into her already busy schedule.
So, we look to alternatives offered in a short-course format by both universities and other educational organisations such as the Australian Institute of Management.
Talk with your customers, not at them. And other tips for more referrals.
November 19, 2010
By Suzi Dafnis
Do you talk TO your customers, or with them? In a day and age when you can no longer assume that you have no control on whether customers refer you, it’s time to take action and discover how to help your business market itself.
I recently read “The Referral Engine” by John Jantsch. It was a powerful and practical way to (as the book subtitle says) – Teach Your Business to Market Itself.
In this audio I invite you to join me next week when I interview John Jantsch during BOOKED for Lunch. (BOOKED for Lunch are free lunchtime webinars with the world’s leading business book authors and thinkers.)

Your Market of One
November 19, 2010
By Cat Matson, Alito
I have long been a proponent of clearly articulating your ideal target market, and crafting your message to appeal only to them. Clients have resisted, saying they don’t want to ‘miss’ potential work from less-than-ideal-clients. My response has always been that if you craft your message tightly enough, those people who sit on the edge of your ideal will step-up to make the grade. It works.
Over time, what comes with this tightly crafted message designed purely for your ‘ideal’ target market is you, the business owner, start being more vibrant and visible to those clients you want to work with. And, you become less relevant to the people you don’t want to work with.
I know this, yet recently I was disappointed at the lack of after-session interest in a presentation Keith (my husband and business partner) gave at our local Chamber of Commerce. He delivered a great presentation, but only 2 of the 18 attendees took him up on the offer for a chat. “What’s wrong?” I wondered, “why didn’t he convert more of the audience?”
It took a couple of days to click – those two who followed up are perfect potential clients. They’re ready to start working with Keith, they are hungry for his advice and insights, plus their businesses are at a level where Keith can make a solid difference. In other words, his ideal clients. The other audience members aren’t ideal. Some of them might be in the future, but right now they’re not. Whilst all 18 people in the room that day listened to Keith’s presentation, 2 heard him … and what he could offer. He wasn’t talking to his market – he was talking to individuals who wanted his services.
Rather than trying to communicate with a faceless mass audience, define your market of one.
Who is your ideal client? Think of them as a person, not a market. In every marketing and sales interaction you want a person to buy – not a market to buy. And if you can articulate this’market of one, you’ll find your marketing message is more clearly articulated and therefore hits the target more effectively.

Tap into the Great Leader in You
November 18, 2010
By Caroline McAuliffe, ExeConnect and Virtual Angels
Leaders are at the top of their game when they act from their deepest values and instincts. Usually they tap into these fundamental qualities during a crisis, but it’s possible to do so at any time (in the right frame of mind).
A frustrating fact for leaders is that their performance level tends to fluctuate from competent to excellent and back again. How does a leader achieve excellent results, consistently? Rather than pouring over countless leadership manuals and imitating other successful leaders, Professor Robert E. Quinn from the University of Michigan School of Business, suggests you tap into your own abilities already acquired through past experiences.
In his recent article for Harvard Business Review, Moments of Greatness: Entering the Fundamental State of Leadership, Professor Quinn argues that the way you lead in a crisis forces you to tap into your deepest values and instincts. In this state you instinctively know what to do – you rise to the occasion and perform at your best.
Fortunately a crisis is not necessary to find your Fundamental State of Leadership. You can do so any time, perhaps prior to a critical conversation or key meeting, by following three simple steps:
1. Recognise you have been here before
Remind yourself that you have been here before and have overcome great challenges. By recalling these moments and the lessons learnt, you will release positive emotions and see new possibilities for your current situation.
2. Analyse your current state
Compare your normal performance with what you’ve done when at your best. You will fuel a desire to elevate what you are doing now and instil confidence that you can re-enter this state of mind.
3. Ask yourself the following four questions
Am I results centred?
- Have you articulated the result you want to create?
- Do you move towards possibilities that don’t yet exist?
Am I internally directed?
- Are you willing to challenge other’s expectations?
- Have you clarified your core values?
- Do you act with authenticity and confidence and willingly initiating productive conflict?
Am I other focused?
- Have you put your organisations’ needs above my own needs?
- Do you commit to the collective good in your organisation – even at personal cost?
Am I externally open?
- Do you recognise signals suggesting the need for change?
- Do you learn from your environment, acknowledging the need for change and a depart from routine?
Professor Quinn and his colleagues are using their research to challenge the way in which leaders are trained or encouraged to emulate other great leaders.
They believe that leaders who do their best work are not copying anyone. They are drawing on their own fundamental values and capabilities – operating in a frame of mind that is true to them but paradoxically not their normal state of being.
No one can operate at the top of their game all the time, but by practising entering this state of mind on a regular basis you will be able to return to it more easily in future, whilst inspiring others around you to perform to higher levels of excellence.
Even those widely admired for their leadership skills usually function in their normal and healthy state of being. However, this state is not conducive to crisis management and when in this state people tend to stay in their comfort zones and allow external influences to guide their behaviours and decisions. To elevate the performance of others, we must first shift our own thinking along the four dimensions identified:
- What results do I want to create? – This question shifts us from problem solving to purpose finding.
- By becoming more internally directed we clarify our core values and increase our confidence, integrity and authenticity. Our behaviours will shift and be noticed by others.
- By putting the collective need before our own needs we are instilling trust and respect from others, this in turns makes for a tighter more empathetic team who cohesively can overcome and transcend conflicts that are a necessary element of a high performing organisation.
- If we are realistically aware of what is unfolding, and open to the need for change in our ever-changing external world, we move from a defensive and in-denial state of mind to an adaptive, credible and unique state.
These four qualities are at the heart of human influence and whilst good leaders can function without addressing them, they will usually need to influence change by control or force which doesn’t give rise to committed followers. By shifting to this mindset, leaders can influence change by elevating people to a new level of community, which continues even in the absence of the leader.
So next time you are faced with a challenging conversation or key meeting, think of a time when you were at your best as a leader and use a check-list to identify the qualities you displayed. Compare your list with how you are operating today and identify what changes you need to make to get back to that state.
Here is an example check-list to use for each of the four questions:
At my best I was ______. Today I am _______.
- Results Centred
- Knowing what results I want to create
- Holding high standards
- Initiating Action
- Challenging the status quo
- Engaging in Urgent Conversations
- Internally Directed
- Operating from my core values
- Motivated from within
- Leading Courageously
- Expressing what I really believe
- Engaging in Authentic Conversations
- Other Focussed
- Sacrificing personal interests for the common good
- Supporting People
- Empathising with people’s needs
- Trusting others and fostering interdependence
- Seeing the Potential in Everyone
- Externally Open
- Engaging in Creative Conversations
- Paying deep attention to what’s unfolding
- Inviting feedback
- Moving forward into uncertainty
- Growing and learning continually

As a solopreneur does your business ever shut down?
November 10, 2010
Alycia Edgar, Coastal Accounting Services
How do you manage if you need to go away for business, or even a holiday? Is your business set up so that it can run without you, or do all your communication points go unanswered?
We use so many communication channels these days that it is not just a matter of putting a message on the answering machine and an ‘out-of-office’ email and going off to enjoy a holiday or conference. We must have systems in place to deal with enquiries and sales while we are away.
Unless you can afford to ‘shut up shop’, literally, you need to keep the money flowing to your business. Most of us would prefer to keep the business running, so how do we do that?
- Put a support team in place that can handle enquiries, e.g.: virtual assistants.
- Leverage your business by having others work for you, servicing your clients or customers and removing the need to temporarily shut down the business.
- Remove yourself as the chief problem solver in your business. Let your team use their initiative to sort out problems. Remember a problem is just a system waiting to be implemented.
- Implement communication systems within your business that don’t rely on face-to-face contact, and which don’t keep you chained to your desktop.
Putting a support team in place, leveraging your time and implementing communications systems in your business all require systems. And one of the best ways I have found to create these systems is in ‘the cloud’, otherwise known as operating solely on the Internet.
These are the systems that I can access from anywhere via my iPad, my laptop (if I chose to take that with me) or an Internet cafe:
- Time Management System – Harvest
- Project management system – Basecamp
- Customer Relationship Management System – Highrise
- Accounting System – Saasu
- Email – Gmail
- Files – Boxnet, Dropbox
- Business Intranet (how my business runs) – Backpack
Unfortunately these are not systems you can implement three days before you leave for that conference or holiday. But, if you can see how online systems would give you more flexibility with your business simply look at the systems you use now, what their actual purpose is, note their functionality and look for the equivalent online. You’ll be amazed at what some of them can actually do for you.
Do you have online tools (other than those listed) that you use? Let me know.
